RESUMEN

Neuronavigation, a ubiquitous tool used in neurosurgery, is rarely used in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery despite it offering many advantages without any disadvantage to the patient. The present report describes one patient with complex gun-shot wound facial injury and one patient with a rare malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor involving the skull base, in which neuronavigation was used to improve the accuracy of bony reduction and minimize surgical invasiveness. Although neuronavigation is not necessary for all maxillofacial surgery, it can be a useful adjunct in complex maxillofacial reconstruction and maxillofacial tumor resection.
