A syndrome characterized by facial palsy in association with a herpetic eruption of
the external auditory meatus. This may occasionally be associated with tinnitus, vertigo,
deafness, severe otalgia, and inflammation of the pinna. The condition is caused by
reactivation of a latent HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN infection which causes inflammation
of the facial and vestibular nerves, and may occasionally involve additional cranial
nerves. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p757)
