Sensory and parasympathetic inputs are carried into the geniculate ganglion via the nervus intermedius.
2.
They join with general somatic sensory and special sensory fibres to form the nervus intermedius.
3.
However, the term " nerve of Wrisberg " can also refer to the nervus intermedius branch of the facial nerve.
4.
There is also a small amount of cutaneous sensation carried by the nervus intermedius from the skin in and around the auricle ( outer ear ).
5.
The nervus intermedius exits the cranial cavity at the Internal auditory meatus, and joins with the motor root of the facial nerve at the geniculate ganglion.
6.
The antero-superior part transmits the facial nerve and nervus intermedius and is separated from the postero-superior section, which transmits the superior vestibular nerve, by "'Bill's bar "'( named by William F . House ).
