TI  - Intracapsular Enucleation of Intraparotid Facial Nerve
Schwannoma with Intratemporal Extension
AB  - Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma is a rare condition, which is difficult
to preoperatively diagnose without a definite biopsy, yet the diagnosis
is important for surgical planning and avoiding accidental injury to the
facial nerve. Considering the benign indolent nature of the schwannomas,
the management should be prioritized on the long-term tumor control
with special attention to the facial nerve function and facial cosmesis.
Microscope-assisted intracapsular enucleation is an excellent treatment
option for such lesions. Our patient showed House–Brackmann grade
II facial function after the surgery. This technique is safe and offers a
favorable outcome of facial nerve function.
