Abstract
The cure rate for Bell’s palsy has improved thanks to recent advances in conservative therapy [1, 2]. For the treatment of Ramsay Hunt syndrome (Hunt’s syndrome), antiviral agents and steroids are generally administered, but the prognosis for Hunt’s syndrome is less satisfactory than for Bell’s palsy. In recent years, high-dose steroid and antiviral agents, such as acyclovir, have been used for the treatment of severe Hunt’s syndrome in our clinic. In the present study, the effects of antiviral agents and of high-dose steroid administration in the treatment of Hunt’s syndrome are discussed.
