Facial nerve schwannomas are rare. They occur all along the nerve's course from the cerebellopontine angle to the parotid region. Clinically, intracranial facial nerve schwannomas often present with facial nerve paralysis or hearing loss and may initially be misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas.

Background And Purpose: Facial nerve paralysis significantly decreases the quality of life in patients after skull base tumors surgery. There are different options for surgical repair of the nerve. One of the most effective methods is the anastomosis of the distal trunk of the facial nerve with the proximal trunk of the hypoglossal nerve or with hypoglossal loop.

Background And Purpose: Intracranial facial nerve schwannomas are rare neoplasms.

Treatment depends on localization and has to be discussed for each case.
