Facial nerve aplasia is an extremely rare condition that is usually syndromic, namely, in Moebius syndrome. The occurrence of isolated agenesis of facial nerve is even rarer, with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of congenital facial paralysis due to facial nerve aplasia diagnosed on MRI, while no noticeable abnormality was detected on the temporal bone CT.
面神经发育不全是一种极其罕见的疾病,通常是综合征性的,即在莫比乌斯综合征中。孤立性面神经发育不全的发生更为罕见,文献中仅有少数病例报道。我们报告一例因面神经发育不全导致的先天性面瘫,该病例通过磁共振成像(MRI)诊断,而颞骨计算机断层扫描(CT)未发现明显异常。
