A Novel Classification: Anomalous Routes of the Facial Nerve in Relation to Inner Ear Malformations

Abstract: Objectives/Hypothesis: The objective of this study was to classify anomalous facial nerve (FN) routes and to determine their association with inner ear malformations (IEMs). Study Design: Retrospective cross sectional study. Methods: The computed tomography images of 519 patients (796 ears) with IEMs were retrospectively evaluated, and the abnormal routes of the FN were classified as: Meatal segment: type 1, normal internal auditory canal (IAC); type 2, narrow IAC; type 3, facial canal (FC) only; type 4: separ… Show more

“…Finally, since the embryological development of the bony canal of the facial nerve (FN) is closely connected with the development of the IE structures, its related abnormalities are described at the end of each IEM, according to the current literature [19].…”
