Abstract:

A 39-year-old female Chinese non-smoker was diagnosed with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma with cerebral metastases and commenced erlotinib. After 5 weeks, she presented with a 3-day history of severe bilateral facial weakness (House-Brackmann grade V/VI) and hypogeusia consistent with bilateral facial nerve palsies. MRI demonstrated new, symmetrical contrast-enhancing foci at the expected location of the facial nerves, consistent with leptomeningeal progression. Erlotinib was ceased and osimertinib was commenced. Facial nerve motor and sensory function b

Abstract:

TFacial nerve paralysis is one of the most feared complications of otologic surgery; the surgeon must always be prepared to recognize and solve such lesions if they occur. The authors present 2 clinical cases of intratemporal lesions of the facial nerve; in one of these we performed early neurografting of the facial nerve, in the second one we performed delayed decompression of the nerve. Facial nerve paralysis with early onset after otologic surgery needs timely exploration (via ENoG) and repair – this is always an emergency, the earlier the exploration the better the outcome; there are a var

Combined measurements of reflexive lacrimation, stapedial reflex, and electrically induced taste give an indication of the site and extent of infratemporal lesions of the facial nerve. Using refined test batteries, we established the presence of intratemporal lesions in Bell's palsy in 80 patients with facial paralysis. In the acute stage of Bell's palsy, suprastapedial lesions predominated and the occurrence of a suprageniculate lesion was not rare. In the subacute stage, the lesions proximal to the stapedial nerve tended to subside and infrastapedial lesions increased. In 60% of 53 patients

Abstract:

Introduction: Facial nerve palsy results in the loss of facial expression and is most commonly caused by a benign self-limiting inflammatory condition, known as Bell’s palsy. However, there are other conditions which may result in injury of the seventh cranial nerve and the radiologist should be familiar with their imaging appearances. Materials and Methods: The relevant anatomy of the facial nerve and pathology which may affect the intratemporal portion of the nerve is described. The role of imaging and choice of imaging modality is also reviewed. Results: High-resolution computer tomography

In particular, intracranial metastasis accompanied by multiple cranial nerve lesions is very rare, and early diagnosis is difficult, which easily leads to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Abstract:

Object The aim of this study was to describe the symptomatology, radiological features, and surgical treatment of patients with cavernous angiomas within the internal auditory canal (IAC). Methods The authors reviewed the cases of seven patients with cavernous angiomas in the IAC that had been surgically treated in the 22-year period between 1983 and 2005. All the patients had presented with sensorineural hearing loss, and four suffered from tinnitus. Four patients also reported facial symptoms such as hemispasm or progressive palsy; one of these patients had presented with sudden facial pares

✓ In a series of 527 cerebellopontine angle tumors, there were 416 cases of acoustic nerve tumors and 14 cases of primary tumor of the facial nerve in the petrous bone or intracranial cavity. Six additional patients were presumed to have facial tumors, although they were not operated on. Of the 14 verified facial nerve tumors, all but two were neurinomas and 11 had important intracranial extensions into the middle and/or the posterior fossa. In most of these 14 cases, surgical removal was performed via the translabyrinthine route, which is advantageous in that it displays the characteristic re

Abstract:

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is characterized by paroxysmal ear pain, and vesicular rash around the ear with ipsilateral facial nerve palsy. It is due to the reactivation of the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in the facial nerve ganglion. It is considered the second most common cause of peripheral facial nerve palsy. A 14-year-old immunocompetent boy presented with fever associated with vertigo, facial asymmetry and difficulty in swallowing. He had a few crusted lesions in his left ear pinna and ear canal on examination. A cranial nerve examination revealed a left-sided facial and palatal palsy. Cerebro

Abstract:

non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) are a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic puffins, with diphun B-velicocyclotinous lymphoma accounting for 25% of all NHLs and having the greatest midline to axis growth (Leeuwenуе et al., 2014). Of all NHLs, the central and peripheral nervous systems are most often affected in diphytic B-lycocytic lymphoma (Padala, & Kallam, 2022. Liu, & Barta, 2019). In NHL, infiltration of cranial and peripheral nerves can be detected - neurolymphomatosis (NL) emerges. NL is a very rare condition and occurs in about 0.2% of patients with NHL (Baehring, Damek, Martin,
