  • Look Inside

 A case of Hunt's syndrome with manifestations of cranial nerve symptoms is reported.

 A girl, aged 5, complained of headache, right-sided otalgia and pain in the pharynx, preceeding the onset of high-fever and vomitting. At the time of admission the patient was suspected of having aseptic meningitis due to remarkable lymphocytosis in the spinal fluid with memnigeal signs ; Kernig's sign was also positive.

 Later, the patient developed a right-sided facial palsy with herpetic breakouts on the ipsilateral external ear and the pharyngeal region. The patient, also, developed a right sided trigeminal neuralgia with vertigo and gait disturbance. On the other hand, a localized encephalitis will show such symptoms as vertigo, cranial nerve palsy, disturbance of speech and walking, which are characteristics of brainstem or cerebellar disturbances, except for the herpetic outbreaks.

 We believe that localized encephalitis has something in common with Hunt's syndrome with manifestations of cranial nerve symptoms.
