  • Title: [Haemangiomas of the geniculate ganglion].
    Author: Casas-Rodera P, Lassaletta L, Sarriá MJ, Gavilán J.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 2007; 58(7):327-30. PubMed ID: 17683701.
    Abstract:
    About 60 cases have been published since Pulec first described hemangiomas of the geniculate ganglion. They usually cause facial weakness even when they are very small. In cases of insidious evolution of facial paralysis, MRI, and CT are very helpful to rule out these tumors. The treatment is based on complete surgical removal, although it has to be individualized, depending on preoperative facial function and the possibility of complete surgical removal with preservation of the facial nerve.
