Facial Nerve Diseases
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Facial Nerve Diseases'Diseases of the facial nerve or nuclei. Pontine disorders may affect the facial nuclei or nerve fascicle. The nerve may be involved intracranially, along its course through the petrous portion of the temporal bone, or along its extracranial course. Clinical manifestations include facial muscle weakness, loss of taste from the anterior tongue, hyperacusis, and decreased lacrimation.

Cystic vestibular schwannoma: classification, management, and facial nerve outcomes.
30 Aug 2009 
OBJECTIVE: Review of postoperative morbidity and facial nerve outcomes of cystic vestibular schwannoma (CVS) patients compared with solid vestibular schwannoma (SVS) patients and a proposal for a new CVS classification system. STUDY DESIGN: ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 A variety of congenital, traumatic, vascular, inflammatory, and neoplastic processes may affect the facial nerve. Prudent use of CT and MR imaging combined with a complete understanding of facial nerve anatomy helps in narrowing the differential ... Read more...
Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma: clinician beware.
30 Jul 2009 Intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas are rare neoplasms that are challenging to diagnose and manage. Many patients present with a painless, palpable facial mass. The presence of facial paralysis is variable. Imaging studies and fine-needle ... Read more...
