  • Title: MR imaging of facial nerve enhancement in Bell palsy or after temporal bone surgery.
    Author: Daniels DL, Czervionke LF, Millen SJ, Haberkamp TJ, Meyer GA, Hendrix LE, Mark LP, Williams AL, Haughton VM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1989 Jun; 171(3):807-9. PubMed ID: 2717756.
    Abstract:
    The authors evaluated magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained with intravenously administered gadolinium in ten patients who had facial paralysis and no facial nerve tumor. In patients with either Bell palsy (four patients) or facial paralysis after temporal bone surgery (six patients), intratemporal facial nerve enhancement was seen. Facial nerve enhancement on MR images proved to be a nonspecific finding.
