It can be adequately treated with wide myrin-
gotomy and systemic antibiotics.
18.6.6 Chronic Otitis Media
Facial nerve dysfunction associated with chronic suppurative otitis media (mucosal inammation or cholesteatoma) reects a toxic neuritis, exter­nal compression, or intraneural compression from edema or abscess.
18.6.6.1 Treatment
Treatment includes mastoidectomy as soon as possible with surgical removal of irreversible disease in the middle ear and mastoid, as well as decompression of the involved segment.
18.6.7 Malignant Otitis Externa
It affects elderly patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or in others who are immunocompromised and typically present with symptoms of otorrhea and progressive disabling otalgia lasting few weeks.
The pathognomonic signs are otoscopic evi­dence of ear canal inammation or granulation tissue at the bony–cartilaginous junction.
Facial palsy reects advanced skull base extension of the osteomyelitis.
Less than 5% of facial palsy is caused by a
neoplasm [7].
Despite the rarity of facial nerve tumors, the presence of a progressive, persistent, or recur­rent facial nerve function decit should always arouse suspicion of a facial nerve lesion and war­rants MRI with gadolinium. Other clues for facial nerve tumors are hemifacial spasm antecedent to the palsy, associated dysfunction of regional cranial nerves, prolonged otalgia or facial pain, mass in the middle ear, external ear canal, digas­tric region, or parotid gland.
Schwannomas are the most commonly identi­ed histopathologically, followed by hemangio­mas and meningiomas.
Facial nerve schwannomas can arise from any segment of the facial nerve and are usually located in a multisegment manner, intratempo­rally and particularly in the geniculate ganglion (Fig.18.4).
The number of cases with isolated intraparotid locations is limited [8].
18.6.7.1 Diagnosis
– MRI is very helpful for establishing extent of
disease and monitoring response to therapy.
18.6.7.2 Treatment
– Systemic antipseudomonal antibiotics – Operative debridement of the tympanic bone,
the mastoid, and the skull base is indicated only when medical treatment fails
18.6.8 Facial Nerve Neoplasms
Facial nerve tumors are rare lesions.

Facial Nerve Schwannomas
• Most common primary neoplasm of facial nerve.
• Slowly growing tumors, average 1m per year.
• Multisegmental involvement with genicu­late ganglion most commonly affected [9].
• Iso to hypointense on T1, iso to hyperintense on T2 with homogenous enhancement.
• Cystic change in 20% of cases (Fig.18.4) [9].
• CT may show bone remodeling and scalloping if intratemporal in location.
• Management: Observation, Radiosurgey, rarely excision (see algorithm Fig.18.5).
Facial Nerve Hemangioma
• Venous vascular malformation of the
facial nerve.
• Predilection for the geniculate ganglion.
• Facial palsy out of proportion to the size
of the lesion.
• Heterogeneously hyperintense T2 mass
with punctuate foci of hypointensity which enhances.
• CT scan: honey comb appearance.

18.6.8.1 Management Plan
Preoperative facial nerve function is the most important factor determining the treatment approach (see algorithm Fig.18.5):
• Normal nerve function or weakness HB III or less Clinical and radiological follow-up.
• Growing facial nerve tumors Radiosurgery.
• Facial palsy HB grade IV or more Surgical excision+ reconstruction.
• Symptomatic facial nerve tumors surgical excision.
18.6.8.2 Surgery
In most cases, excision of the involved facial nerve segment is required for total tumor resec­tion. In such cases, reconstruction with a nerve graft is required. Postoperative facial nerve func­tion is usually not better than HB Grade 3 [10].
The most important factor determining postop-
erative facial nerve function is the grade and dura­tion of facial nerve paralysis before surgery [11]. Long-standing complete facial palsy implies very bad prognosis for postoperative facial nerve function.
18.6.9 Iatrogenic Facial Paralysis
The facial nerve can be injured by direct mechan­ical disruption from a rotating burr, transection with a sharp instrument, accidental evulsion (eg,

from traction), or a crushing injury. A rotating surgical burr can produce thermal injury with­out directly contacting the facial nerve. Thermal injury is more likely when diamond burrs are used than when cutting burrs are employed.
18.6.9.1 Parotid Surgery
• Most common surgery with iatrogenic FN injury.
• The likelihood of facial weakness correlates with tumor location deep to the plane of the facial nerve, previous parotid surgery, and pre­vious sialadenitis.
• All parotid surgery is best undertaken with facial nerve monitoring, and at the end of the procedure, the main trunk should be stimu­lated to conrm continuity.
• If there is no response, the nerve and its branches should be closely inspected for areas of discontinuity and repaired immediately.
18.6.9.2 Ear Surgery
• The incidence of FN palsy is less than 1%.
• Most commonly during mastoidectomy fol­lowed by cochlear implantation.
• Very rare in tympanoplasty or stapedectomy
• Mechanism—direct mechanical injury or heat generated from drilling
• Most common area of injury: second genu, followed by mastoid segment
• Management: (Fig.18.6)
– Recognized at surgery:
Complete or more than 50% transaction Primary repair Less than 50% disruption: decompres­sion (1cm from each side of injury) No return of function should be antici­pated before 4months
– Recognized immediate postoperatively:
Remove the mastoid dressing and ear pack and wait for few hours for LA­induced weakness to wear off Paralysis persists and surgeon unsure about integrity of facial nerve Re­explore as soon as possible Sure about integrity of facial nerve High-dose steroids ×10 days

IntraoperativeFacial Nerve Monitoring
• Intraoperative monitoring uses facial electromyography, with or without a stimulating probe.
• Muscle relexants must be avoided to permit muscle stimulation and neural monitoring, and this fact must be com­municated to the anesthesiologist.
• Intraoperative monitoring is not a sub­stitute for anatomic knowledge and good surgical technique. Facial nerve monitoring is cost effective and bene­cial for neurotologic, mastoid, amd parotid surgery, and its use can reduce the risk of iatrogenic facial nerve injury.
• Intraoperative monitoring is not a substi­tute for anatomic knowledge and good surgical technique. Improper set up, equipment failure, or misuse may lead to worse outcomes than if facial monitoring was not used.

pathic disease, but there may be a genetic predis­position. Crohn’s disease or sarcoidosis can have similar manifestations.
Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical features. Biopsy of the lip is useful in diagnosis as well as in differentiating between the different types of the disease.
Treatment is symptomatic and may include NSAIDs and corticosteroids to reduce swelling.
18.8 Facial Nerve Reanimation
Strategies
The aims of facial nerve reanimation strategies are to protect the eye, restore facial symmetry, facili­tate a spontaneous, dynamic smile, and improve speech. Operative procedures may be static or dynamic (Fig. 18.8). The patinet should wait at least 12 months for the rst sign of facial mov­ment after any kind of facila nerve surgery. At the end of this period, failure to have any sign of facial movment imposes the need for another facial reanimation strategy (dynamic or static).
18.8.1 Static Procedures
Static procedures do not reproduce the dynamic movement of the face, although it may be ameliorated. Static procedures may be very ben­ecial to provide corneal protection, improve the nasal airway, prevent drooling, and improve facial asymmetry at rest. They are potentially indicated in the elderly, the unt, those unwilling or unt to undergo prolonged surgery, and those with established paralysis without viable facial mus­culature. Static procedures to correct functional disabilities include temporary or permanent tar­sorrhaphy; insertion of gold weights, brow lift or suspension; forehead skin excision; unilateral facelift type procedures; and static slings.
Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome is a rare dis­ease of childhood and early adolescence char­acterized by recurrent facial paralysis, swelling of the face and lips (usually the upper lip), and ssured tongue.
Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome is idio-

facial movement, preferably in a spontaneous manner.
18.9 Hemifacial Spasm
Hemifacial spasm is a movement disorder of muscles innervated by the facial nerve, which is almost always unilateral. The cause in most cases is a compression of the facial nerve in the cerebellopontine angle by an artery, most commonly by PICA (postero-inferior cerebel­lar artery) (Fig.18.9). The root exit zone of the facial nerve (REZ) corresponds to a junctional area between central and peripheral myelin.At this level, the facial nerve is sensitive to com­pression from a vascular loop; vascular com­pression at the REZ of the facial nerve is the most acceptable underlying physiopathology of a hemifacial spasm.

• Facial nerve palsy can be unilateral or bilateral; cases can vary from idiopathic, infectious, neoplastic, or iatrogenic.
• Prognosis of facial nerve recovery depends on primary pathology, type of injury, and duration of palsy.
• Facial nerve function test can give an idea about the type of injury and help to plan the appropriate nerve reanimation strategy.

19.1 Introduction
Generally speaking, malignant neoplasms of the auricle are common, and that can be attributed to sun exposure, especially in men. It constitutes 5% of all other cutaneous malignancies. Fair skin, chronic immunosuppressive therapies, radiotherapy, and certain skin conditions are examples of risk factors that can increase the individual susceptibility to this type of malignan­cies. Cutaneous malignancies are considered the most common malignant tumor of the ear canal. Primary malignancies of the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare; they are usually an exten­sion of the cutaneous malignancies of the sun­exposed area of the auricle.

19.2 Malignancy ofAuricle
19.2.1 Actinic Keratosis
• Solar keratosis and senile keratosis are other
terms for this condition.
• It is premalignant [1].
• It is caused by sun exposure.
• Risk factors: Fair skin, chronic immunosup-
pressive therapies, and increasing age [1].
• Appearance: erythematous raised patch that
has at top with sandpaper [2].
• It has 5% of malignant transformation into
squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) [2].
• Treatment: curettage, cryotherapy, topical
tretinoin, 5-uorouracil, laser, dermabrasion, or excision [2].
19.2.2 Lentigo Maligna
• Hutchinson’s freckle is another term for this
condition.
• It is a melanoma in situ [2].
• Appearance: macular spot, which is brown to
black with irregular boundaries that enlarge overtime slowly [3].
• It has 5% of malignant transformation into an
invasive melanoma [2].
• It has high recurrence rates [2].
• Treatment: Surgical excision. Moh’s tech-
nique can be utilized in anatomically essential regions [2].

19.2.3 Keratoacanthoma
• Appearance: a volcano-like bump that is affect­ing an area of the pinna and grows rapidly, reaching maximum size in 1–2months [2].
• Risk factors: sun exposure, male, and fair skin [4].
• Common in male, middle-age to elderly patients [4].
• Treatment: excision [4].
19.2.4 Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
• The least aggressive skin cancer, with a low incidence of metastasis (below 0.1%)
• The most common skin cancer in the head and neck area [5]
• Risk factors: Sun exposure, radiotherapy, immunosuppression therapy, and specic con­ditions like:
– Xeroderma Pigmentosum, which is an
autosomal-recessive genetic disease. The patient has a defect in the DNA repair mechanism after UV damage; he will have multiple BCC.In addition, they will have corneal opacication and neurological def­icits [2, 6].
– Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome: It
is an autosomal-dominant disorder. Patients will have multiple BCC along with odonto­genic keratocyte formation, intracranial calcication, palmar pitting, and ribs abnormalities [2, 7].
• Appearance: a pearly skin lesion with rolled borders and telangiectasias [8].
• Histology: It has different subtypes like super­cial, nodular, pigmented, inltrative, mor­pheaform (sclerosis), and basal squamous. Morpheaform (sclerosis) and basal squamous have a more aggressive clinical course than the others. Basal squamous has the worst clin­ical picture [8].
• Treatment: Surgical excision with 4–5 mm margins. Radiotherapy can also be used. Moh’s micrographic mapping can be utilized [5].
• BCC and SCC have the same staging.
• Look at Fig.19.1:
19.2.5 Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• It is considered the most common malignan­cies for auricle [2].
• It has a capacity for metastasis and local destruction.
• The high metastasis and recurrence rates can be related to its close relation to structures under­neath it, which will make the resection more dif­cult. Some believe that this is due to its close approximation to the external auditory canal [2].
• Risk factors: sun exposure, fair skin, radiation exposure, immunosuppression therapy, pre­existing lesions, scars, and burns [9].
• Appearance: An indurated erythematous patch, its border cannot be distinguished. It has an area of an ulceration that can bleed eas­ily (see Fig.19.2) [9].

Fig. 19.2 Patients with SCC of the left auricle, note the ulcerative lesion
207
• Most common location: Helix then posterior pinna, antihelix, and triangular fossa [2].
• Can spread through the lymphatic system. For lesion in the auricle, it can spread to pre­auricular within parotid and postauricular LN.Level II–V lymph nodes can be involved as well [2].
• Staging system: see Table19.1.
• Treatment: Excision with 6mm margins cir­cumferentially, which might require auricu­lectomy. Radiotherapy might be indicated postoperatively. Close follow-up of the patient is required to monitor the resected area and to detect any new lesion in sun-exposed areas. See Figs.19.3 and 19.4 [2,10].
Table 19.2 shows a comparison between BCC
and SCC.
19.2.6 Melanoma
• It arises from the melanocytes.
• It can arise from the sun-exposed area, lentigo maligna lesion, or even from a nevus.
• Twenty to 30% of melanoma are located in the head and neck region, and 10–15% are in the auricle [2].
It occurs mainly in the elderly, especially on
the left side of the face due to sun exposure during driving [2, 5].
• The most common location in auricle is the helix followed by the lobule [11].
• Histology: It has four subtypes: supercial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna, and acral lentiginous. Supercial spreading is the most common type [5].
• It has 12–36% chance of lymph node spread. The lymphatic drainage is determined by sen­tinel lymph node sample [2].
Treatment: some believe a total auriculectomy
• with parotidectomy and neck dissection is required for all auricular lesions [12].
• Excisional margins:
In situ 5mm Depth less than 1cm 1cm Depth between 1 and 2cm Between 1 and 2cm Depth more than 2cm 2cm
• In general, auricle has a worse prognosis than other parts of the body [11].
• Staging: there are three staging systems avail­able, TNM from AJCC, Clark, and Breslow.
