The existing management tactics for patients with intratemporal tumors of the facial nerve (microsurgical tumor excision with reconstruction of the facial nerve) is today complemented with more conservative methods: wait-and-see tactics with a follow-up, nerve decompression, and stereotactic radiosurgery. Nerve plasty with direct neurorrhaphy or autograft improves the function of the facial muscles. No tumor recurrences were recorded during the follow-up.
