Anastomosis between the two facial nerves.

L F Scaramella

    The Laryngoscope
    |August 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Traumatic facial palsy after acoustic neuroma removal was successfully treated. A nerve graft successfully reconnected the healthy and paralyzed facial nerves, restoring function.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Acoustic neuromas require surgical removal, often via sub-occipital craniectomy.
    • Facial nerve injury can occur during this procedure, leading to facial palsy.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed traumatic facial palsy post-acoustic neuroma resection.
    • The facial nerve was damaged during the sub-occipital craniectomy.

    Findings:

    • Facial nerve function was restored using an autoplastic peripheral nerve graft.
    • The graft successfully anastomosed the normal facial nerve to the paralyzed side.

    Implications:

    • Nerve grafting is an effective treatment for traumatic facial palsy.
    • This technique offers a viable solution for functional recovery after neurosurgical complications.
