各种先天性、创伤性、血管性、炎症性和肿瘤性过程都可能影响面神经。谨慎使用CT和MR成像并全面了解面神经解剖有助于缩小鉴别诊断范围。在进行中耳手术的患者中，必须绘制面神经的精确解剖路线。同样重要的是认识到，在头颈部癌症中，面神经可能受到神经周围扩散的影响。本文综述了面神经的解剖学和相关的，目前的临床评价和成像策略。
A variety of congenital, traumatic, vascular, inflammatory, and neoplastic processes may affect the facial nerve. Prudent use of CT and MR imaging combined with a complete understanding of facial nerve anatomy helps in narrowing the differential diagnosis. The precise anatomic course of the facial nerve must be charted in patients who undergo middle ear surgery. Also of great importance is recognition of the fact that the facial nerve may be affected in cancers of the head and neck by perineural spread. This article reviews the anatomy of the facial nerve and relevant, current clinical evaluation and imaging strategies.
