Six Anatomical Segments
• Intracranial
• Meatal
• Labyrinthine
• Tympanic
• Mastoid
• extratemporal

4 functional components
• Motor nucleus (efferent)• Parasympathetic fibers-greater superficial
petrosal nerve & chorda tympani ( Nervus Intermedius)
• Special Visceral Afferent from Nucleus Tractus Solitarius(afferent)
• General Sensory Afferent-cutaneous sensation to external ear & postauricular area (afferent)

Supra nuclear pathway
• Motor function origin begins at cerebral cortex
• Primary somatomotor cortex in the precentral gyrus (brodmann area4,6,8)
![Page 6: Facial Nerve](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070414/56814e34550346895dbb9b7a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Facial Nucleus and Brainstem
• Facial nucleus lies within the reticular formation at the lower level of the pons
• There is distinctly ipsi & contalateral cortical input within the facial nucleus
superior or ventral – receives bilateral input
inferior or dorsal – receives contralateral input

INTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL(meatal)
• Traverse crest divides IAC into superior and inferior
• Superior portionfacial nerve anteriorly superior vestibular nerve posteriorly
• Inferior portion cochlear nerve anteriorlyinferior vestibular nerve posteriorly

FALLOPIAN CANAL
• Facial canal is approximately 30 mm long
• From Bills bar up to the stylomastoid foramen
• 3 intratemporal regionlabyrinthinetympanic mastoid
![Page 11: Facial Nerve](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070414/56814e34550346895dbb9b7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Labyrinthine segment
• Shortest segment (3-4mm)• Lies between labyrinth and cochlea • Beginning from fundus of IAC extending upto
geniculate ganglion*• Narrowest portion of fallopian canal is the
meatal foramen (junction bet IAC and Labyrinthine segment)• Labrynthine segment terminates in the
genicultae ganglion and will make a 40 to 80 turn(1st genu)

Mastoid Segment
• From 2nd genu to stylomastoid foramen
• Descends inferiorly and becomes more lateral *
• 2 branches- nerve to stapedius and chorda tympani
• Angle between chorda tympani and vertical portion is 30 degrees(facial recess)

Extra Temporal Segment
• 3 minor branches after leaving the stylomastoid foramen
• post auricular nervebranch to digastric musclestylohyoid muscle
• Further arborization occurs with frequent anastomosis occurs in the intraparotid course
• Five classic branches- temporal,zygomatic,buccal,mandibular,cervical

Blood Supply
• Blood supply is segmented derived from 3 arterial sources Nager 1953
brainstem to IAC: AICA
perigeniculate segment: Mid. meningeal artery
mastoid –tympanic: stylomastoid branch of post auricular artery

Facial Nerve InjuryIncidence
1% - Primary Otological Surgery
4 – 10% - Revision Cases
Primary Reason:
• 80% lack of familiarity with surgical anatomy
• Tear of Facial Nerve
• High facial ridge in CWD

Management Protocol
1. Complete post-op palsy• Immediate re-exploration• Decompression• Re-approximation severely
damaged• Interposition grafting loss of neural
tissue

Management Protocol
2. Delayed onset observation
Hilger minimal stimulation test after 72
hours, if (-) response at 5 mA ENOG >80 % neural degenerationExplore & decompression
