  • Title: Facial nerve hemangioma: a case report.
    Author: Wu EC, Rothholtz VS, Zardouz S, Lee AD, Djalilian HR.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2013 Jun; 92(6):262-3. PubMed ID: 23780592.
    Abstract:
    Although hemangiomas are relatively common in the head and neck, those that originate in the facial nerve are extremely rare. These benign tumors have the potential to compress or invade the adjacent facial nerve and thereby produce facial paralysis and other associated symptoms. We present a case of facial nerve hemangioma in a 15-year-old girl that initially manifested as unilateral facial weakness. We also discuss the diagnostic imaging and management options.
