An interventional study of MRI with Facial nerve tractography in Parotid Tumor, sponsored by CHU de Reims. Status unknown at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-04-14.
Sponsored by CHU de Reims · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The aim of the study is to evaluate concordance between the facial nerve's path in the parotid evaluated by radiologist in preoperatively and the facial nerve's path in the parotid evaluated by surgeon in peroperatively.
Surgery is the main treatment for parotid tumol, benign or malignant pathologies. The procedure requires a trunk search and a facial nerve dissection along its intraparotid length. This intervention entails a risk of facial paralysis.
MRI tractography is a new imaging technique that can characterize nerve fibers and their path.
The interest would be to allow the surgeon to best prepare the parotidectomy by locating the tumor in relation to the trunk and all the branches of the facial nerve.
27 studies on the registry are indexed under Parotid Neoplasms; 7 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is below the median of 55 across 20 interventional studies indexed under Parotid Neoplasms.

exclusion criteria :
All consecutive patients operated on for parotid tumor.
Radiation: MRI with Facial nerve tractography
MRI with Facial nerve tractography in addition to T1 imaging, T1 gadolinium imaging and T2 imaging.
Facial nerve's path
Relations between the facial nerve's (the facial nerve's trunk s and the facial nerve's dissections) and the parotid gland will be studied. The nerve will be * in front of the mass or behind the mass * below the mass or above the mass * outside the mass or inside the mass
