An enlarged facial nerve canal can be a seen in both pathologic and nonpathologic processes. The purposes of this report are the following: 1) to present a rare cause of bony facial nerve canal enlargement, due to an enlarged vein, with high-resolution MDCT and histopathologic correlation; and 2) to discuss the vascular anatomy that gives rise to this variant.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The intraparotid facial nerve is difficult to delineate using conventional MR sequence. Our aim was to assess the value of 3D DESSWE MR imaging in depicting the normal anatomy of the intraparotid facial nerve. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 3D-DESSWE sequence was performed with optimum parameters in 18 healthy volunteers on a 1.5T MR imaging unit. The data obtained were recons...

In this study, we propose a novel approach to facial expression recognition that capitalizes on the anatomical structure of the human face. We model human face with a high–polygon wireframe model that embeds all major muscles. Influence regions of facial muscles are estimated through a semi– automatic customization process. These regions are projected to the image plane to determine feature poi...

BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin is widely used for facial aesthetics, and its use in men continues to increase. OBJECTIVE To provide a review of pertinent male anatomic features and updated clinical information on the use of botulinum toxin in men. METHODS A Medline search was performed for publications on sex differences in facial anatomy and on clinical studies examining the role of sex in bot...

Facial reconstruction is employed in the context of forensic investigation and for creating three-dimensional portraits of people from the past, from ancient Egyptian mummies and bog bodies to digital animations of J. S. Bach. This paper considers a facial reconstruction method (commonly known as the Manchester method) associated with the depiction and identification of the deceased from skelet...
