Proceedings: Differential diagnosis of cerebellopontine angle lesions by vertebral angiography.
LINDSAY SYMON and BRIAN KENDALL (London) had used vertebral angiography for the past five years as a definitive investigation for providing details of the sites and probable natures of cerebellopontine angle lesions. Advantages of angiography were its performance under basal sedation with consequent diminution of the disturbance of intracranial dynamics consequent on anaesthesia, and its potent...
متن کاملDiagnostic Dilemma: Cerebellopontine Angle Lipoma Versus Dermoid Cyst
Both lipomas and dermoid cysts of the cerebellopontine angle are rare tumors. These tumors differ in their embryological origin but share similar features on imaging. Both of these congenital lesions can be found in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), and symptomatic clinical presentation is dictated by the location of the lesion. This paper demonstrates a unique case in which a CPA lipoma was mi...
متن کاملCerebellopontine angle lipoma in asymptomatic patients: case report.
Lipomas represent approximately 0.15% of cerebellopontine angle tumors.1 Audiometric findings include unilateral or asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss with low speech recognition index (SRI).2 Imaging procedures, particularly nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), confirm the diagnosis.1--4 There is no image enhancement with gadolinium; in this scenario, special fat suppression sequences are pa...
متن کاملRare lesions of the cerebellopontine angle.
Vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas and epidermoids account for a vast majority of the lesions occurring in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies other than these tumors constitute 1% of all lesions located in the CPA. The aim of this study was to reveal our experience in the treatment of the rare lesions of the CPA. We have retrospectively reviewed the med...
متن کاملEndolymphatic sac tumor: a rare cerebellopontine angle tumor.
Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELST) are rare papillary tumors of the temporal bone. Previously named as aggressive papillary middle ear tumors, they have recently been shown to arise from the endolymphatic sac. They are a rare in cerebello-pontine angle (CPA). We present a case of an ELST who presented as a CPA tumor with hydrocephalus. He underwent a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt initially. On explo...
