There is no preoperative diagnostic modality that can identify facial nerve schwannoma with certainty. Difficulty in locating the facial nerve intraoperatively raises suspicion of a neurogenous tumor of the facial nerve, and this may prevent unnecessary damage to the nerve. Not every facial nerve schwannoma should be resected.

There is no preoperative diagnostic modality that can identify facial nerve schwannoma with certainty. Difficulty in locating the facial nerve intraoperatively raises suspicion of a neurogenous tumor of the facial nerve, and this may prevent unnecessary damage to the nerve. Not every facial nerve schwannoma should be resected.File allegati a questo prodotto
