Talk:Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2

message: * Since the syndrome is named after one person (J Ramsay Hunt), the syndrome should be written as "Ramsay Hunt," not "Ramsay-Hunt."
* The geniculate ganglion is not destroyed in RHS, in fact there is debate if the ganglion is even inflamed in the process. For a nice review see Seeney and Gilden, 2001.
* There are actually 3 unrelated types of Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Type 2, which is described in the last paragraph, is rare. I've never seen the third constellation of clincal findings refered to as a Ramsay Hunt syndrome, so I'm leaving it out of the article.
** The NINDS site incorrectly refers to Herpes zoster oticus as RHS 2, and dyssynergia cerebellaris myoclonica as RHS 1.
I'm making note of these issues here in the talk page to avoid revesions--Zyryab 20:55, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Ramsay-Hunt → Ramsay Hunt – {The syndrome is named after one person (J Ramsay Hunt), therefore the hyphen is not needed. There was a redirect from the correct name to the incorrect name, so wikipedia wouldn't let me move it. Thanks.} – request made on requested moves page by User:Zyryab

*Support I have looked through the first ten pages of Google hits on "Ramsey-Hunt".  Unfortunately it shows hits for both "Ramsey Hunt" and "Ramsey-Hunt" so it is a manual process to count them. But out of these 100 hits, only seven called it Ramsey-Hunt, and one of those was Wikipedia. i.e. from this sample it is called Ramsey Hunt 95% of the time (i.e. ignoring the Wikipedia one, 94 times out of 99).

Naming. The Ramsay Hunt syndrome (II, not 1) is AFAIK not synonymous with facial herpes zoster but refers to the combination of this with facial palsy (Bell's Palsy). This is also the way it is explained on the website about RH syndrome (here). 
this source gives good definitions. The numbers of the syndromes are often given differently. Bart 10:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
