The Sacrifice

The sacrifice of the facial nerve is an uncommon consequence of parotidectomy for cancer resection. In the cases described here, the facial nerve was necessarily resected due to an infiltrating tumour. Seven cases of facial nerve sacrifice that were reconstructed with a novel, sural nerve construct are presented. The sural nerve construct facilitates facial nerve reconstruction, especially in the case of multiple branch involvement and a short, proximal nerve stump. Evaluation of these cases shows acceptable facial nerve function following this technique. The use of this technique may prove advantageous in any instance of nerve grafting where multiple nerve branches are encountered.

Delayed Reconstruction

AbstractThe case presented here is a delayed reconstruction of a facial nerve defect after radical parotidectomy without a useful nerve stump at the stylomastoid foramen. A composite free flap was used to reconnect the nerve’s intrapetrous portion to the peripheral branches and reconstruct the soft-tissue deficit.

Grade Iii

Facial nerve meningioma is exceedingly rare and tends to affect the geniculate ganglion. We present a case of facial nerve meningioma located in the internal auditory canal with a “labyrinthine tail,” mimicking facial nerve schwannoma. The clinical and radiological features, growth patterns, and surgical management were reviewed. Progressive facial paralysis was the main syndrome, similar to other facial nerve tumors. When facial nerve function is worse than House-Brackmann grade III, surgical resection should be performed with facial nerve reconstruction.
