متن کاملExtratemporal Malignant Nerve Sheath Tumor of Facial Nerve with Coexistent Intratemporal Neurofibroma Mimicking Malignant Intratemporal Extension
We present an extremely unusual case of an extratemporal facial nerve malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) arising from preexistent intratemporal neurofibroma, illustrating a difficulty in discriminating between perineural spread of the MPNST and the preexistent intratemporal neurofibroma on preoperative radiographic images. The most interesting point was that preoperative CT scan an...
متن کاملCongenital bifurcation of the intratemporal facial nerve.
Anomalies of the course of the facial nerve have been reported in association with middle and inner ear malformations. Bifurcation of its intratemporal portion is a rare malformation in which focal splitting of one or more facial nerve segments occurs. We describe the CT appearance of this anomaly and discuss its possible embryology. Facial nerve bifurcation is important to recognize in patient...
متن کاملCross-facial nerve grafting
Cross facial nerve grafting may be utilized in the treatment algorithm of both reversible paralysis, wherein axonal input to existing mimetic mucsles will elicit movement, or in irreversible paralysis, wherein cross facial axons are used to motor a free muscle transfer. This article reviews the indications, operative technique, post-operative care, and potential complications of this technique....
