Facial paralysis of neoplastic origin: diagnosis and management.
Laryngoscope 1980 October
The individual with a progressive (weeks to months) facial weakness should be considered to have a tumor involving the facial nerve until proved otherwise. All individuals experiencing a facial paralysis must undergo a thorough neurotologic evaluation to establish the etiology. Bell's palsy is a diagnosis by exclusion. While computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans, polytomography and arteriograms are extremely helpful, these studies very often fail to demonstrate intrinsic tumors involving the facial nerve. For this reason all individuals experiencing a progressive facial paralysis should have an exploration of their facial nerve from the internal auditory canal (IAC) through the stylomastoid foramen into the parotid gland. The purpose of this paper is to present a series of cases of facial paralysis having as their etiology intrinsic or extrinsic neoplasms. Clinical patterns are established, diagnostic protocols formulated and the results of surgical management reviewed.
