RESUMEN
La localización intraparotídea de schwannomas del nervio facial es poco frecuente y su diagnóstico preoperatorio es difícil. Estos hechos causan controversia sobre cual es la actitud que debe seguirse ante la sospecha intraoperatoria de un schwannoma del nervio facial intraparotídeo. Se presentan dos casos de schwannoma intraparotídeo del nervio facial diagnosticados en el transcurso de una cirugía de parótida. Se describe la conducta terapéutica y seguimiento realizado en ambos casos (AU)
Intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas are rare, their preoperative diagnosis is difficult, and there are controversies about how to proceed when they are suspected intraoperatively. We present two cases of intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma that were diagnosed during parotid surgery, and describe the procedure and follow-up performed (AU)
