A 5 year-old boy with a cerebellar gangliocytoma with a peripheral right facial paresis and ataxia is presented. His MRI showed a heterogenous, diffuse lesion, isointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2-weigthed sequences, involving the right cerebellar hemisphere with direct extension into the right facial nerve. The present case is the first description of a gangliocytoma with direct facial nerve invasion, as demonstrated for the facial nerve paresis and supported by MRI and surgical inspection.

A case report is presented of an unusual occurrence of peripheral facial nerve paresis owing to isolated perineurial extension from a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Current evidence dispels the previously held belief that perineural invasion and extension occurs in lymphatic spaces. The clinical importance of recognizing this route of spread by tumors of the head and neck is discussed.
