Primary and secondary tumors of the facial nerve. A temporal bone study. 1986

T T Jung, and B H Jun, and D Shea, and M M Paparella

Of 1400 temporal bones in the collection at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 17 temporal bones from 15 patients were found to have tumors involving the facial nerve. The findings were as follows: one case of facial nerve schwannoma; two cases of invasion of the facial nerve by contiguous tumor; and 14 cases of metastatic tumors involving the facial nerve. Facial nerve paralysis was present in half of the cases (nine of 17). Facial nerve paralysis was present in the case of facial nerve schwannoma, in both cases of invasion of the facial nerve by contiguous tumor, and in six of 14 cases of metastatic tumors involving the facial nerve. The presence of the facial nerve paralysis correlated well with the degree of tumor infiltration into the nerve fibers and the segment of the tumor involvement in the facial nerve. In the patients with metastatic tumors, facial nerve paralysis was a sign of extensive intracranial tumor involvement and was usually accompanied by other cranial nerve palsies, most commonly involving the fifth nerve.

D005154 Facial Nerve The 7th cranial nerve. The facial nerve has two parts, the larger motor root which may be called the facial nerve proper, and the smaller intermediate or sensory root. Together they provide efferent innervation to the muscles of facial expression and to the lacrimal and SALIVARY GLANDS, and convey afferent information for TASTE from the anterior two-thirds of the TONGUE and for TOUCH from the EXTERNAL EAR.

D005158 Facial Paralysis Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.

D013701 Temporal Bone Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull).
