Comparative StudyComparative prognosis in patients with Ramsay-Hunt syndrome and Bell's palsy.

Factors of metabolic syndrome affecting prognosis were therefore compared between patients with Ramsay-Hunt syndrome and those with Bell's palsy. ⋯ Among patients with severe facial palsy, along with diabetes and < 10% ENoG, unfavorable recovery rates were significantly higher in those with Ramsay-Hunt syndrome than with Bell's palsy.
