title: [Tumors of the facial nerve canal].
abstract: The X-ray tomograms of 13 patients with tumors in the facial nerve canal are discussed. The leading clinical symptom is the peripheral facial nerve palsy without recovery, often combined with deafness and dizziness. The X-ray film shows opacity, widening of the internal auditory canal and/or of the third part of the facial nerve canal, further erosion of the bony structures and destruction of the pyramid.
