    Summary

    Facial nerve neuromas can be diagnosed using advanced imaging techniques like computed tomography. These methods help define the extent of the nerve involvement for better patient management.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Facial nerve neuromas are rare tumors that can cause significant morbidity.
    • Accurate diagnosis and assessment of tumor extent are crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the radiographic findings in eight patients with facial nerve neuromas.
    • To evaluate the utility of various imaging modalities in diagnosing and characterizing these lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of radiographic findings in eight patients with surgically confirmed facial nerve neuromas.
    • Utilized thin-section tomography, high-resolution computed tomography (CT), posterior fossa CT, and cerebellopontine angle cisternography.

    Main Results:

    • Imaging demonstrated bone erosions and soft tissue masses along the facial nerve course.
    • Lesions typically showed proximal or distal patterns of nerve involvement.
    • Radiologic imaging facilitated correct preoperative diagnosis and precise definition of tumor extent.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced radiologic imaging is effective in diagnosing facial nerve neuromas.
    • Imaging findings are critical for surgical planning and patient management.
