  • Title: The different faces of facial nerve schwannomas.
    Author: Abdullah A, Mahmud MR, Sabir HA, Saim L.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2003 Aug; 58(3):450-3. PubMed ID: 14750390.
    Abstract:
    Facial nerve schwannomas are rare benign tumors. The tumor can arise anywhere along the course of the facial nerve. The most common presentation for this tumor is a slowly progressive facial nerve paralysis. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and tinnitus are later symptoms. The symptoms and signs depend on the site of tumor along the nerve. We report three cases of facial nerve schwannomas with different clinical presentations. Appropriate management of a facial nerve schwannoma should be based on the site and extent of the tumor and status of the nerve function.
