An extremely rare case of a right cerebellopontine angle medulloblastoma in a five year old Malay girl which had eroded into the petrous bone and extended into the temporal fossa is reported. Combined subtemporal and retromastoid approach to achieve gross total surgical resection was achieved followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Cavernous hemangioma, also known as cavernous angioma, accounts for 10-20% of vascular malformations.1,2 Extra-axial lesions are rare. Most tumors are found in the sinuses, Meckel’s cavity, posterior fossa, including the cerebellarpontine angle and internal auditory meatus.3 This paper reports the clinical case of a patient with cavernous hemangioma involving the internal auditory meatus whose ...

Lymphoma of the central nervous system is uncommon, accounting for approximately 0.2-2% of all brain tumors [17] . Numerous descriptions of the CT appearance of primary and secondary lymphomas have been published [1-16]; however, to our knowledge, lymphoma presenting as a homogeneously enhancing, cerebellopontine angle mass has been reported only once before [13]. We reviewed our experience wit...

The morbidity of hemangioblastoma in the supratentorial region is very low, and is seldom found in the area of the cerebellopontine angle, so it is easily misdiagnosis before surgery. We report and discuss a case of hemangioblastoma originating at the right cerebellopontine angle in a 42-year-old female patient.

introduction: to report our experience with a large series of surgical procedures for removal of cerebellopontine angle (cpa) tumors using different approaches.   materials and methods: this was a retrospective analysis of 50 patients (mean age, 49 years) with cpa tumors (predominantly acoustic neuroma) who underwent surgical removal using appropriate techniques (principally a translabyrinthine...

Meningioma is a common intracranial tumor in adults. Pediatric cases account for approximately 1.5% of all intracranial meningiomas, and very few cases show malignant histological features. Primary pediatric malignant meningioma in the cerebellopontine angle is extremely uncommon. Herein, we report a 2-year-old girl with malignant meningioma in the cerebellopontine angle. The clinical features,...

The flocculus may simulate a cerebellopontine angle mass in computed tomography (CT). The CT appearance of the flocculus was compared with acoustic neuroma. Normal internal auditory canals, symmetric cerebellopontine angle cisterns, modest contrast enhancement, and a location posterior to the porus acousticus distinguish the flocculus from an acoustic neuroma.
