Abstract
Summary The recovery of facial nerve function after suboccipital removal of 91 acoustic neurinomas is presented. The results after anatomical preservation of the nerve (60 cases), direct anastomosis of the nerve (7 cases), nerve grafting (16 cases), and facial hypoglossal anastomosis (8 cases) are presented after a follow-up period of 31.2 months. A simplified classification was used to describe motor function. The results are compared to those in the literature.Keywords
