Abstract:
The course of the facial nerve from its origin in the human brain-stem to the termination of its end fibers in the muscles of facial expression is reviewed in detail. The relation of the facial nerve to important adjacent structures is emphasized so that the aural surgeon is better prepared to explore in this intricate area.
