Geniculate Ganglion Meningioma [PDF]
The geniculate ganglion is an unusual location for an intratemporal/intracranial meningioma. We present a case of meningioma intrinsic to the geniculate ganglion that presented peculiar features on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and magnetic resonance imaging.

Endoscopically-assisted transmastoid approach to the geniculate ganglion and labyrinthine facial nerve [PDF]
Background Endoscopic transcanal approaches to the facial nerve allow excellent exposure of the tympanic facial nerve. This approach becomes limited when access is required to the more proximal geniculate ganglion and labyrinthine portion of the facial ...

Efficacy of a Quantitative Intra-Operative Facial Nerve Continuous Monitoring System for Functional Preservation Following Intratemporal Facial Nerve Schwannoma Resection. [PDF]
We investigated the role of a continuous, quantitative intraoperative monitoring system in surgeries for facial nerve schwannomas, a rare tumor associated with a high risk of facial nerve dysfunction. By continuously stimulating the facial nerve and recording electromyographic responses in real time, the system enabled surgeons to detect subtle or ...

Regional specialization of the tongue revealed by gustatory ganglion imaging
Summary: Gustatory information is relayed from the anterior tongue by geniculate ganglion neurons and from the posterior tongue by neurons of the petrosal portion of the jugular/nodose/petrosal ganglion complex.

Computed tomographic features of the proximal petrous facial nerve canal in recurrent Bell's palsy
Objectives The primary objective was to determine whether the narrowest dimensions of the labyrinthine facial nerve (LFN) canal on the symptomatic side in patients with unilateral recurrent Bell's palsy (BP) differ from those on the contralateral side or
