Angioma of the facial nerve is a rare benign tumor. Symptoms include progressive or sudden facial paralysis and, often, a facial twitch. Although angiomas have unique features, diagnosis and treatment is similar to that for facial nerve neuroma. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with gadolinium infusion and thin-section Computed Tomography (CT) can often identify the lesion. Treatment by total excision and facial nerve grafting can provide a permanent cure with good restoration of facial function. Four cases are discussed.
面神经血管瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤。症状包括进行性或突发性面瘫，且常常伴有面部抽搐。尽管血管瘤有其独特特征，但诊断和治疗与面神经神经瘤相似。注射钆的磁共振成像（MRI）和薄层计算机断层扫描（CT）通常能够识别该病变。通过全切术及面神经移植进行治疗可实现永久性治愈，并使面部功能得到良好恢复。本文讨论了4个病例。
