ABSTRACT

It was reported a 68 year old male patient with a personal pathological history of postischemic stroke Parkinson's syndrome and systemic arterial hypertension and with the intention of describing the experience of diagnosis and treatment of Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Patient presented to his primary health physician at the Univirsity Clinic “Omar Ranedo Pubillones” in Guantanamo, presenting pain in right side of the face and earache, headache and fever. Then, he presented vesicular lesions with a herpetic appearance. It was concluded the definitive diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome type II and it was referred to Otolaryngology consultation, where the diagnosis was confirmed. After treatment patient’s improvement was good. Although Ramsay Hunt syndrome is not a health problem, shows the need for primary care physicians to become familiar with the theoretical basis for its diagnosis and the importance of interdisciplinary evaluation for this purpose.
