Abstract

Objective: To investigate the valve of diagnosis in imaging findings of facial nervetumors in the CT and MR.Methods: CT and MRI findings in 18 cases with pathologically-proved facial nerve neuromas were analyzed retrospectively.Results: All of 18 cases were detected(11/18 facial neuroma,5/18 facial neurofibroma and 2/18 facial hemangioma).Conclusions: HRCT and MRI are effective methods in detecting the lesions of f acial nerve.CT is better to demonstrate the osseous destruction in detail,and CE-MRI is easier to find small facial nerve lesions intracranially.Combined application of CT and MRI can improve the he diagnostic accuracy.
