The Facial Nerve Schwannoma Center offers a comprehensive multi-specialty approach and expertise in the management and treatment of facial nerve schwannomas.
These rare benign tumors originating from the facial nerve can have a variety of symptoms, including facial spasms, paralysis or palsy and hearing loss. They can often be confused with other tumors such as vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) or meningioma because of their location, or conditions such as Bell’s palsy because of their effect on facial movement. Our team understands the importance of maintaining (or improving) facial function, hearing, and balance when addressing facial nerve schwannomas.
