Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Associated with Brain Stem Enhancement AJNR 20:278-280, Sartoretti-Schefer,S.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Postcontrast T1-weighted MR images in a patient with Ramsay Hunt syndrome showed an enhancing lesion in the region of the nucleus of the pontine facial nerve and abnormal enhancement of the intrameatal, labyrinthine, and tympanic facial nerve segments and of the geniculate ganglion, as well as enhancement of the vestibulocochlear nerve and parts of the membranous labyrinth. This enhancement most probably resulted from a primary neuritis of the intrameatal nerve trunks of the seventh and eight cranial nerves.
