A very rare case of polycranialneuropathy after rubella infection in a 40-year-old woman is described.She was admitted to hospital with sudden deafness. One week previously she caught cold and had a slight fever, sneezing and nasal discharge. Three days before this, she had had a rash which appeared all over her body, especially over the extermities and abdomen. The rubella antibody titer was 1:256. One month later she complained of vertigo with severe rotato-horizontal nystagmus and one week thereafter unilateral facial paresis appeared suddenly. She was treated with intensive drug therapy and made a gradual but slow improvement during hospitalization At the time of discharge one-and-a-half months after admission, she still had moderate hearing impairment without vertigo or facial paresis. No other case of polycranialneuritis after rubella was found in the literature.
