Facial Nerve Schwannoma

In this report, we describe the rare presentation of a cystic intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma (IPFNS) in a young female who initially presented with a painful unifocal parotid mass gradually enlarging over 5 years. Preliminary imaging and cytology offered this to be a Warthin’s tumour. Here we describe the limitations of current diagnostic tools in the workup of intraparotid cystic lesions and highlight the importance of keeping rare tumours in mind to optimize pre-­surgical management.

Branchial Anomalies

First branchial cleft anomaly is an uncommon clinical problem that can be difficult to diagnose and treacherous to treat. It is generally believed that branchial anomalies arise from incomplete resolution of branchial cleft remnants. They may be a fistulous tract or cystic lesions, and they may be found in all age groups. This article presents three cases of first branchial cleft anomaly and offers an overview of the regional embryology and guidelines for surgical management and facial nerve preservation.

Early Surgical Intervention

AbstractSchwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells which are a protective casing of nerves, composing myelin sheath and can develop in any nerve where Schwann cells are present. Most common are vestibulocochlear nerve schwannomas. Facial nerve schwannomas (FNSs) are uncommon tumors involving seventh nerve of which geniculate ganglion involvement is most common. Clinical presentations and the imaging appearances of FNSs are influenced by the topographical anatomy of the facial nerve and vary according to the segments involved. We report a case of 73-year-old man presenting with right side facial weakness of lower motor neuron type involvement. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are clinching the diagnosis. An early diagnosis is important in containing the disease facilitating early surgical intervention.
