Abstract

Facial nerve hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors with primary symptoms including progressive facial nerve palsy and hearing loss. They can involve various segments of the facial nerve, especially the geniculate ganglion (G.G.). Preoperative MRI and CT imagining is of great importance for early diagnosis of such lesions. The most accepted treatment for facial nerve hemangiomas is surgical excision1and the type of approach depends on tumor location, preoperative hearing level and tumor size. In consideration of the difficulties in differential diagnosis, otologists should pay attention to avoid missed or incorrect diagnosis in hemangiomas of facial nerve.
