Standard transcranial magnetic stimulation and nasal muscle F-wave recordings were used to assess proximal facial nerve function in 27 patients with unilateral acoustic tumors (mean diameter, 29 mm) and clinically intact facial nerve function. Latency measurements for F waves and cortical magnetic s
