title: [Intratemporal course of the facial nerve in magnetic resonance imaging].
abstract: MR images of the intratemporal portion of the facial nerve were obtained with a 1.5 Tesla permanent magnet whole-body imaging system. The facial nerve was followed from the internal auditory through the temporal bone to the styloid foramen. MR promises to be a sensitive method for the evaluation of intratemporal facial nerve diseases.
