Unusual CT and MR appearance of an epidermoid tumor of the cerebellopontine angle.
We present a case of an unusual epidermoid tumor of the cerebellopontine angle that appeared hyperdense on CT scans and hyperintense on T1- and T2-weighted MR images. We believe that these imaging characteristics were caused by a high protein concentration within the contents of the cyst.
متن کاملUnusual case of hemangioblastoma of the cerebellopontine angle
Background Hemangioblastomas are the most common primary tumor of the posterior fossa. There are few cases of hemangioblastoma of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). When present in this location, hemangioblastoma presents a diagnostic challenge as its imaging findings closely resemble those of vestibular schwannoma (VS), which is much more common in the CPA. Case Description We report the case...
متن کاملChronic granulomatous abscess simulating cerebellopontine angle tumor.
The delayed development of brain abscess associated with a retained intracranial foreign body is not rare and has been documented [1-5] . We report an unusual case of chronic granulomatous abscess in the cerebellopontine angle region secondary to retention of a cotton ball during surgery for an acoustic neurinoma 20 years earlier. We describe the computed tomographic (CT) findings and emphasize...

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...
