Abstract

Schwannomas, are benign tumours arising from the nerve sheath. They are uncommon in the facial nerve and account for less than 1% of tumours of temporal bone. (3) They can arise anywhere along the facial nerve from its origin in the cerebellopontine angle to its extra cranial ramications in the parotid space. (1,2) Most commonly they involve the intra-temporal course of the nerve, with propensity for the geniculate ganglion.
