Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Associated with Brain Stem Enhancement

Sabine Sartoretti-Schefer,a, Spyros Kolliasa and Anton Valavanisa

a From the Institute of Neuroradiology, University Hospital of Zürich, Frauenklinikstrasse 10, CH-8091 Zürich, Switzerland.

Summary: Postcontrast T1-weighted MR images in a patient with Ramsay Hunt syndrome showed an enhancing lesion in the region of the nucleus of the pontine facial nerve and abnormal enhancement of the intrameatal, labyrinthine, and tympanic facial nerve segments and of the geniculate ganglion, as well as enhancement of the vestibulocochlear nerve and parts of the membranous labyrinth. This enhancement most probably resulted from a primary neuritis of the intrameatal nerve trunks of the seventh and eighth cranial nerves.
