摘要
In a series of 527 cerebellopontine angle tumors, there were 416 cases of acoustic nerve tumors and 14 cases of primary tumor of the facial nerve in the petrous bone or intracranial cavity. Six additional patients were presumed to have facial tumors, although they were not operated on. Of the 14 verified facial nerve tumors, all but two were neurinomas and 11 had important intracranial extensions into the middle and/or the posterior fossa. In most of these 14 cases, surgical removal was performed via the translabyrinthine route, which is advantageous in that it displays the characteristic relationship of the tumor to the facial nerve, and facilitates nerve repair. The clinical and radiological features of these facial nerve lesions are discussed and also the indications for surgical treatment which, as the unoperated cases illustrate, is not always necessary.
