What Is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome? Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a late complication of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection, the same virus that causes chickenpox in kids and shingles in adults, says “We believe that the virus lies dormant after a previous exposure. Then, for reasons that are not well understood, in some cases it will ‘reawaken’ and affect the facial and hearing nerves. It can affect the skin around the ear as well,” says Dr. Byrne. The condition can affect people of any age, but it’s more common in adults over the age of 60, according to the In rare cases, the virus is reactivated and infects a nerve in the head near the inner ear, causing irritation and swelling and resulting in Ramsay Hunt syndrome, according to the In addition to the facial paralysis that Bieber described, symptoms can include severe pain in the ear, painful Treatment and Outlook for Ramsay Hunt Syndrome The treatment options for Ramsay Hunt syndrome include acute and chronic management, says Byrne. “In the short term we use steroids and antiviral medication,” he says. If the pain continues, painkillers may also be prescribed, according to Mount Sinai. A special eye lubricant and artificia...

Dr. Matthew Miller Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus affecting the facial nerve, which results in facial paralysis. While typically Ramsay Hunt syndrome is seen in individuals who have had chickenpox — caused by primary varicella-zoster virus infection — Ramsay Hunt syndrome occasionally affects people who reportedly never had chickenpox. The facial nerve starts in your brainstem and travels through the temporal bone, which is the bone where your ear sits. When the virus reactivates in the facial nerve, it causes swelling of the nerve. The nerve is compressed by the surrounding temporal bone, which is thought to cause the facial paralysis. Other common symptoms of Ramsay Hunt syndrome include severe ear pain, a blistering rash in the ear, hearing loss and severe dizziness; the hearing and balance nerves travel next to the facial nerve in the temporal bone. Patients often describe Ramsay Hunt syndrome as the worst pain they have ever experienced. Think of it as shingles of the facial nerve. One in three people will get shingles, whereas Ramsay Hunt syndrome is much less common — affecting about one in 300 people. I read that you had a similar facial paralysis, but for a different reason. What was your experience like? Back in 2008, I was a third-year at the University of Virginia and a triathlete. While I was on a bicycle training ride, I collided head-on with a car and suffered panfacial fractures, severe traumatic brain injury and comple...

My World 2.0 single “U Smile” on the setlist. On Wednesday, Bieber shared an update on how he is recovering from the syndrome via his Instagram Story. “Wait for it…” he wrote on the video before flashing a wide grin at the camera. When he first unveiled the diagnosis, he could only smile and blink on the left side of his face, the entire right side paralyzed to the point that he couldn’t even flare his nostril. Last year, two doctors specializing in paralysis disorders, Dr. John Oghalai and Dr. Babak Azizzadeh – neither of whom treated Bieber – Rolling Stone, saying that since Bieber’s symptoms were contained to only one side, a complete recovery was “very promising [because] it means that not all of the nerve fibers have died,” said Oghalai. “It may take weeks, months, or up to a year to have a full recovery,” Azizzadeh said at the time. “If individuals are treated with high-dose steroid pills and antiviral medicines, they tend to have a better recovery. That’s very important [to do] as soon as possible.” When he postponed and canceled a slate of tour dates in North America early on in the Justice world tour, Bieber nodded to the strain performing takes on his body. “After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now,” he explained of a performance he completed at Rock in Rio. “So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better.” Trend...

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Pop star Justin Bieber’s announcement that he’s postponing his tour after half of his face became paralyzed has people wondering about the condition behind it. The condition is called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it’s just one of many causes of facial paralysis. As director of the UNC Facial Nerve Center, Dr. Matthew Miller treats people with facial paralysis caused by Ramsay Hunt syndrome. “The easiest way to think about Ramsay Hunt syndrome is shingles of the facial nerve,” Miller explained. So, it’s caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. “Once you beat that chickenpox infection, that virus always lives within you,” Miller said. The virus can reactivate at times of stress, leading to Ramsay Hunt syndrome. “The most obvious symptom of it is partial or complete facial paralysis on one side of your face,” said Miller, adding that other symptoms can include a blistering rash near the ear, intense ear pain, hearing loss, and dizziness. Not everyone has all of the symptoms. Ramsay Hunt is just one of many conditions that can cause facial paralysis. “I think we have 30 different causes of facial paralysis we are treating at the UNC Facial Nerve Center,” Miller said. For people experiencing facial paralysis, Miller emphasized that it’s important to get diagnosed as quickly as possible because the treatment depends on the cause. Whatever the cause, Miller knows how difficult it is to live with facial paralysis. He experienced it himself after an acci...
