Bilateral Facial Paralysis Caused by Temporal Bone Fracture: A Case Report [PDF]
, 2016 Introduction: Although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. A temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributing in 3% of the cases.

Facial nerve in skullbase tumors: imaging and clinical relevance
European Journal of Medical Research, 2023 Facial nerve, the 7th cranial nerve, is a mixed nerve composed of sensory and motor fibers, and its main branch is situated in the cerebellopontine angle. Facial nerve dysfunction is a debilitating phenomenon that can occur in skullbase tumors and Bell’s

Facial Nerve Axotomy in Mice: A Model to Study Motoneuron Response to Injury [PDF]
, 2015 The goal of this surgical protocol is to expose the facial nerve, which innervates the facial musculature, at its exit from the stylomastoid foramen and either cut or crush it to induce peripheral nerve injury.
