title: [Intratemporal facial neurinoma].
abstract: Two patients with intratemporally localised facial nerve schwannomas developed conductive hearing loss beside persisting facial nerve palsy. Tympanotomy revealed a tumour of the facial nerve that was totally removed. In one case reconstruction was performed with great auricular nerve interposition. The long-term follow-up (12 years) showed a good functional result. Facial nerve schwannomas present problems in detection, and reconstruction methods are not safe with regard to long-term prognosis.
