La historia en la nomenclatura de los nervios craneales se remonta a la primera clasificacion rostro caudal realizada por Claudius Galeno (129 a 216) la cual genero un listado con siete pares de nervios craneales; posteriormente Thomas Willis (1621 a 1675) reorganizo el listado con 10 pares de nervios, en el cual el par numero siete integra una porcion dura correspondiente al facial y una porcion blanda equivalente al auditivo; mas adelante Samuel Soemmerring (1755 a 1830) desintegro el VII par craneal de Willis y separo al VII como facial y al VIII como auditivo y paralela a esta clasificacion Heinrich August Wrisberg (1739 a 1808) describio al componente sensitivo del facial con la denominacion de "nervio intermediario" (2).
