This study included 625 patients with Bell's palsy and 124 patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Seven percent of the cases of Bell's palsy and 1.6% of the cases of Ramsay Hunt syndrome were associated with diabetes mellitus, while 14.1% of the cases of Bell's palsy and 10.4% of the cases of Ramsay Hunt syndrome were associated with hypertension. In the patients over 40 years of age, rates of association with diabetes and hypertension were 11.2% and 23.0% in Bell's palsy and 1.3% and 10.4% in Ramsay Hunt syndrome, respectively. The rates of diabetes and hypertension in association with Bell's palsy were significantly high compared with those of the general population. |
