A 20-year-old woman presented with a 9-month history of slowly progressive right peripheral facial nerve palsy. assessment showed Grade II House-Brackmann right facial nerve palsy [1]. Otoscopy and laboratory examination were normal. History of traumatic brain injury was negative. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a T1 hypointense, T2 hyperintense and paramagnetic agent enhancement lesion, measuring 1.1 x 0.9 x 0.9 cm, located on the geniculate ganglion topography of the of the right facial nerve (Figure 1). options were discussed with the patient and the wait and- scan strategy was instituted, since she had a near-normal facial nerve function [2].
