Abstract
We report a case of Hunt syndrome with generalized Herpes Zoster in an adult woman. The patient was 85 years of age and had been a history of multiple myeloma treated by steroids and immunosuppressants. She was referred to our hospital by her primary care physician for right-sided facial and neck pain, otalgia and throat pain. The following day, swelling in the pharynx and the larynx worsened and required tracheostomy. We initiated administration of Aciclovir and intravenous immunoglobulin, which successfully avoided critical complications. Despite the treatment course, facial paralysis and sensorineural hearing loss persisted.
