Abstract
Orbicularis oculi reflex testing by electrodiagnostic techniques has documented both trigeminal and facial nerve involvement in five patients with acoustic neuromas. Such quantitative measurements may demonstrate trigeminal and/or facial nerve deficits before clinical detection is possible and thus be of value in the early diagnosis of acoustic neuromas.
