| [Abstract] The facial nerve in the parotid gland has a complex course and is difficult to distinguish from the surrounding anatomical structures. With the application of magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) sequences, anatomical MRN and functional MRN techniques were used to demonstrate the facial nerve in the parotid gland, which improved the demonstration rate, and helped for identifying the neural lesions and evaluating the relationship between facial nerve and peripheral lesions. This article reviews the MRN imaging technique of facial nerve in parotid gland and its clinical application in recent years, aiming to provide multi-angle information for the improvement of MRN in parotid segmental facial nerve. |
