Facial nerve tumours are rare, often leading to facial dysfunction. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to minimize post-surgical facial sequelae in patients with these rare tumours.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Facial nerve tumours are exceptionally rare, necessitating multidisciplinary management.
  • Surgical intervention is the primary treatment modality for these rare neoplasms.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics, surgical management, and outcomes of patients treated for facial nerve tumours over a five-year period.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical interventions and identify factors influencing post-operative sequelae.

Summary:

  • Six patients with facial nerve tumours (four schwannomas, two hemangiomas) underwent surgical treatment.
  • Common presenting symptoms included facial palsy, neurosensory hypoacusis, and tinnitus, with all patients experiencing facial dysfunction.
  • Post-operative outcomes revealed deficits in all cases, with three patients requiring neural grafts.

Impact:

  • Highlights the rarity of facial nerve tumours and the challenges in their management.
  • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis to mitigate long-term facial functional deficits.
  • Informs surgical strategies and post-operative care for patients with facial nerve tumours.
