Abstract:
A case of facial neurinoma is reported. There was a progredient facial palsy persisting for one year. While X-ray examination as well as CT and MR did not show a pathological finding, classical topodiagnosis resulted in mastoidectomy, during which a neurinoma of 0.5 x 0.8 cm could be removed. The defect was reconstructed by an auricular nerve graft, with satisfactory functional results.
