Abstract

A satisfactory long term result was obtained in 19 out of 25 cases of facial paralysis, consequent upon complete removal of an acoustic neurinoma, by anastomosis of the facial nerve, in 24 cases with the spinal accessory and in 1 case with the hypoglossal nerve. The technique ofBragdon andGray whereby the deep branch of the spinal accessory nerve is spared and only the superficial branch is used for the anastomosis has proved to be of great value.
