OBJECTIVE: To report surgical outcomes of 15 cases who had facial nerve hemangiomas. METHODS: All cases underwent complete removal of hemangiomas, and preservation of nerve integrity was attempted. The postoperative outcomes of facial nerve was assessed. RESULTS: Nerve integrity was successfully preserved in 10 cases, all of which maintained or recovered to Grade I or Grade II, and facial nerve was sacrificed in 5 cases, who recovered to Grade III or Grade IV. CONCLUSIONS: When possible, facial nerve preservation should be attempted, which was critical to yield better outcomes of facial nerve.
