Abstract
This article describes the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of primary tumors of the facial nerve. These tumors include facial nerve schwannomas, geniculate ganglion hemangiomas, glomus facialis, and granular cell tumors. Although these tumors are rare, collected data help to form a consensus with regard to optimal treatment methods.Entities:
