  • Title: Facial trigeminal synkinesis associated with a trigeminal schwannoma.
    Author: Rubin DI, Matsumoto JY, Suarez GA, Auger RG.
    Journal: Neurology; 1999 Aug 11; 53(3):635-7. PubMed ID: 10449135.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the clinical and electrophysiologic findings in a patient with synkinesis between muscles innervated by the facial and trigeminal nerves after resection of a trigeminal schwannoma. Conventional facial nerve conduction and blink reflex studies were normal. Stimulation of the supraorbital and facial nerves elicited reproducible responses in the masseter and pterygoid muscles, confirming a peripheral site of aberrant regeneration of the facial and trigeminal nerves.
