Herpes zoster oticus (HZ oticus) is a viral infection of the inner, middle, and external ear. A result of reactivation of varicella-zoster virus infection, it manifests as severe otalgia and associated cutaneous vesicular eruption.
Also called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome type II, it is a common complication of shingles. Herpes Zoster Oticus, also known as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Type II, is a rare but serious neurological disorder caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. When VZV reactivates in the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), it can result in this painful and potentially debilitating condition.
