Removal of large acoustic neuromas may still be followed by facial nerve palsy. The results of fourteen cases of spinofacial nerve anastomosis have been studied and compared with the results of spinofacial and hypoglossal-facial anastomoses reported in the literature. Other standard treatments of facial palsy have been briefly reviewed and criteria developed by which the most appropriate therapy for facial paralysis may be selected.
