Ramsay Hunt syndrome shingles affects ear canal and associated area about ear, and is very painful and can be associated with facial nerve damage. Two stellate ganglion blocks with “local anesthetic 0.25% bupivacaine and triamcinolone 40 mg were given daily for two sittings. Next five sittings of block were done with 0.25% bupivacaine only” – pain subsided after 2-3 days.
