Facial Nerve Hemangioma: Radiological Findings and a Review of the Literature.

Facial nerve hemangioma is a rare vascular lesion of the temporal bone, most frequently arising from the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve. Imaging plays a pivotal role in its detection and characterization, and the combination of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may allow the diagnosis based on suggestive radiologic features. We report a case of a middle-aged female with a facial nerve hemangioma diagnosed through CT and MRI, emphasizing the main imaging findings and their correlation with previously published descriptions in the literature.
