Reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus in the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve will cause SRH, resulting in inflammation, edema, and compression of the VII cranial pair. However, nerve involvement, and in turn the development of SRH, manifests in less than 1% of infected patients. It is the second most common cause of atraumatic peripheral facial palsy (PFP) and has an incidence of 5 cases/100,000 people, with no sex predilection. Currently, SRH is classically described as a triad of otalgia, ipsilateral facial paralysis, and vesicles near the ear and ear canal; however, motor, sensory, and autonomic impairment when combined result in diverse neurological damage and may cause different symptoms, its diagnosis is mainly clinical.\u0000Goal\u0000To report the case of an HIV patient associated with SHR, seen by IIER between May and June/2022.\u0000Case Report\u0000Male, 49 years old, sought care on 05/20/22 in a hospital with complaints of vertigo and intense headache, associated with nausea and vomiting with onset of symptoms one day ago.
