Article information

About 60 cases have been published since Pulec first described haemangiomas of the geniculate ganglion. They usually cause facial weakness even when they are very small. In cases of insidious evolution of facial paralysis, MRI, and CT are very helpful to rule out these tumors. The treatment is based on complete surgical removal, although it has to be individualized, depending on pre-operative facial function and the possibility of complete surgical removal with preservation of the facial nerve.

Key words:
Facial paralysis
Haemangiomas
Geniculate ganglion

Desde su descripción por Pulec en el año 1969, se han publicado unos 60 casos de hemangiomas del ganglio geniculado. Suelen producir debilidad de la función facial, incluso cuando son de muy pequeño tamaño. La resonancia magnética y la tomografía computarizada ayudan en su diagnóstico en los casos de parálisis facial de evolución tórpida. El tratamiento está basado en la resección quirúrgica completa, aunque debe ser individualizado, y las decisiones dependen de la función facial preoperatoria y la posibilidad de resecar totalmente el tumor con preservación del nervio facial.

Palabras clave:
Parálisis facial
Hemangiomas
