Abstract EN

A 20-year-old student under chronic stress developed a painful reddish left ear, vesicles on the left ear, severe left-sided peripheral facial-nerve palsy, and hypoesthesia of the left upper lip, after exposure to a ventilator.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome was diagnosed.

Instead of prednisolone she received dexamethasone (40 mg/d) but nonetheless recovered completely after 12 weeks.
