Neurinoma of the facial nerve. 1978

O Lopes, and N Penteado de Castro, and F A Quintanilha Riberio, and P R Pialarissi

This paper deals with 2 cases of peripheral facial paralysis, due to intratemporal facial neuroma of tympanic (case No. 2) and vertical (case No. 1) segments of the Fallopian canal. The authors present a literature review of the intratemporal facial neuromas with special reference to clinical-surgical and differential diagnostic aspects. It is difficult to detect a Schwannoma of the facial nerve during a peripheral facial paralysis; radiological studies of the mastoid and Fallopian canal are essential for this diagnosis. Treatment of neurinomas of the VIIth nerve is always surgical, the authors emphasize the necessity of an 'en masse' tumor-nerve removal and the use of a nerve graft.

D009442 Neurilemmoma A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.

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.
