Summary : Introduction: Describe, from a clinical case, the useful­ness of MRI and nerve monitoring in facial nerve and the interest of the MRI in detecting the position of the facial nerve. Report of the case: A 73 year-old woman has been supported for a huge tumour of the right parotid gland. Clinical exami­na­tion and preoperative imaging were consistent with a pleo­morphic adenoma located in the super­ficial lobe, with a facial nerve repressed deeply. Resection was performed using a facial nerve monitoring. The nerve was stretched and repressed in superficial position by the tumour. Parotid tissue was repres­sed by the tumour and the nerve bran­ches were loca­ted in sub­cutaneous position. Tumour resection was achieved in full, without capsular break and without injury to the facial nerve branches. Discussion/Conclusion: Despite recent techno­logical developments, imaging, particularly MRI, can not accurately locate the facial nerve in all cases. A careful search of facial nerve during surgical procedure is always necessary to avoid accidental injury of the nerve. In difficult cases, nerve monitoring is an impor­tant technical assistance.
