Abstract
- Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 presents with a multitude of different symptoms and signs, most described is respiratory compromise. Many viral and bacterial infections coexist with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Many cranial neuropathies have also been reported, including facial nerve palsy and sudden sensorineural hearing loss individually. Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which is conventionally described as acute peripheral facial neuropathy, associated with erythematous vesicular rash of pinna or external auditory canal can at times present with cochlear or vestibular symptoms along with it. We report the case of a 32-year-old male who presented with Ramsay Hunt syndrome with cochlear manifestation during his COVID-19 illness. Evaluation of the patient and further management have been described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
