Study Design: Prospective patient questionnaire before CT scan of the paranasal sinuses.
Methods: Patients with refractory rhinosinusitis were recruited at the University of Texas Medical Branch (Galveston, TX) and the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada).
Objective: The study aimed to present clinical, radiographic, and operative findings in cases of recurrent facial neuromas and discuss changes in demographics of primary facial neuromas since 1986.
Data Sources: MEDLINE search of English language literature since 1966 and bibliographies of collected articles were the data sources.
Study Selection: All available reports of recurrent facial neuromas (N = 8) and case reports of primary facial neuromas since 1986 (N = 238) were selected.
