Overview

Case report demonstrates successful radical excision and sural nerve grafting in a young adult with a giant parotid hemangioma, highlighting an effective strategy for restoring facial function.

Key Points

To describe the surgical management and delayed nerve reconstruction of an aggressive parotid vascular malformation presenting with advanced facial nerve palsy in a young adult.
Conducted diagnostic contrast-enhanced MRI evaluating a massive left parotid lesion extending into the parapharyngeal space in a 19-year-old male presenting with House-Brackmann Grade V facial palsy.
Performed radical surgical excision of the extensive infiltrative vascular mass encasing the internal carotid artery and jugular vein.
Executed staged surgical facial reanimation four months post-resection using an autologous sural nerve graft.
Complete surgical resection of the lesion was achieved despite deep extension and encasement of major cervical vasculature.
Delayed nerve grafting via a sural nerve graft successfully restored facial reanimation and symmetry.
