    Abstract:
    Facial nerve neurinomas are unusual tumors which originate fin the Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Diagnosis of these tumors has improved in the last years due to radiological and clinical advances. Here presented is a case study of a patient with neurinoma of the primary facial nerve which clinically manifested itself as a recurrent facial paralysis. A high resolution T-C scan was sufficient for tumour identification, treatment consisted in a middle fossa approach and tumour removal followed by hypoglossa-facial anastomosis.
