RESUMO
Facial nerve neurinoma is a benign tumor, infrequent and exceptional in children. It's clinical manifestation depends on its location and extension, facial palsy being its most frequent sign. Complementary examinations, namely image-diagnosis studies and audiometric tests become essential. Certain diagnosis is made by pathological anatomy. The reported case is a 13-year-old patient suffering from left peripheral facial palsy with an evolution of 8 months who went through a middle cerebral fossa and transmastoid combined tract.
