| ABSTRACT |
|
About 10% of all intracranial tumors occur at the cerebellopontine angle(CPA). While the most common of these, accounting for about 75% of the total, are acoustic neurinomas, these-with widly varying histology-also comprise a significant portion. One of these is trigeminal neurinoma, which account for about 2-10% of all CPA tumors ; a cystic lesion is even rarer. The authors report a case of large cystic trigeminal neurinoma at the cerebellopontine angle and review of the pertinent literature. |
