Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Resection of cerebellopontine angle tumors is challenging because the proximity of the facial nerve puts it at risk of inadvertent injury and subsequent dysfunction. It is critical to consider variations in anatomy and be aware of the potential deviations in the course of the nerve in order to avoid damage. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We present a case of a facial nerve bifurcation identified during resection of a vestibular schwannoma. CONCLUSION This is the only reported case of proximal facial nerve bifurcation. We review what is known about variations in proximal facial nerve anatomy, the rates of facial nerve injury after schwannoma resection, and the importance of neuromonitoring in identifying the nerve and predicting function postoperatively. Ultimately, understanding possible anatomic variations in the nerve is critical to minimize iatrogenic injury during surgery.

Condylar Fractures

AbstractThe literature is replete with techniques regarding the open reduction and fixation of the condylar fractures of the mandible. The extraoral approach is preferred by the majority of surgeons in comparison to the intraoral approach. Nevertheless, open reduction and internal fixation by an extraoral approach has the evident risk to cause transient or even permanent facial nerve injury [1–4], leads inevitably to a facial scar [1, 5], and can course salivary fistulas, sialoceles [1, 6], Frey syndrome, or disturbance of the great auricular nerve [1]. In contrast, an intraoral approach is minimizing these abovementioned risks and facial scars can be avoided in general [7, 8].

Facial Nerve Schwannoma

Significance Statement Facial nerve schwannoma is extremely uncommon. Despite its rarity, it is considered the most common facial nerve tumor and potentially affects any segment of the nerve. Presenting symptoms vary depending on the location of the neoplasm. Tumors pertaining to the extratemporal course of the nerve mainly appear as an asymptomatic parotid mass. We present a rare case of schwannoma of the zygomatic branch of the right facial nerve that was surgically resected, without facial nerve injury.
