Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Intratemporal facial nerve schwannomas are rare tumors.
  • Patients may present with facial nerve palsy and conductive hearing loss.

Purpose:

  • To report surgical management and outcomes for two cases of intratemporal facial nerve schwannoma.
  • To discuss challenges in diagnosis and long-term reconstruction prognosis.

Summary:

  • Two patients underwent successful total tumor removal via tympanotomy.
  • One patient had reconstruction using great auricular nerve interposition.
  • A 12-year follow-up demonstrated good functional recovery.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of early detection for improved outcomes.
  • Suggests reconstructive techniques can yield favorable long-term results.
  • Underscores the need for further research into safe and effective reconstruction methods for facial nerve schwannomas.
