Abstrakt: Although facial nerve paralysis has been reported in association with amyloidosis, histologic confirmation of facial nerve involvement with amyloid has not been previously demonstrated. A case of localized primary amyloidosis of the facial nerve is presented, and a new magnetic resonance technique for imaging the facial nerve is described.
