  • Title: Neurinomas of the facial nerve. Report of three cases.
    Author: Isamat F, Bartumeus F, Miranda AM, Prat J, Pons LC.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1975 Nov; 43(5):608-13. PubMed ID: 1181392.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of neurinomas of the facial nerve are reported. Two of them originated from the labyrinthine portion of the nerve and the other from the vertical portion. Neurinomas of the first part of the facial nerve can be suspected preoperatively since they seem to give rise to specific clinical and radiological manifestations that can be distinguished from tumors of other portions of the nerve, the petrous bone area, or the cerebellopontine angle. The reported cases of neurinomas of the facial nerve are reviewed and analyzed.
