“…Facial and vestibulocochlear nerve involvement could also be the result of hematogenous metastases from a remote primary lesion 17. Although the site of the primary SCC was unknown, the case of Redleaf et al18 might be an example of this type of spread. In our case involvement of the vestibulocochlear nerve was unlikely to be the result of any mechanism other than perineural spread because the patient did not have abnormal intensity in the meninges or a tumor mass on MRI and showed only irregularity and gadolinium enhancement of the trigeminal, facial, and vestibulocochlear nerves themselves.…”

Perineural spread of facial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a well-recognized cause of trigeminal and of facial nerve palsies. 1 Vestibulocochlear nerve involvement by perineural spread has not been convincingly demonstrated. Here we report a patient with perineural spread of facial SCC not only to the trigeminal and facial nerves but also to the ipsilateral vestibulocochlear nerve. The anatomic and pathophysiologic basis of this spread is discussed.
