Cystic Meningioma Imitating Vestibular Schwannoma at the Cerebellopontine Angle: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2007, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Cystic meningioma is a rare type of meningioma which is found mainly in the supratentorial region. The cystic nature of the mass can cause difficulty in the pre-operative diagnosis of these tumours. A 36-year old patient with a cystic meningioma at the cerebellopontine angle, a very rare location for this type of meningioma, is presented and discussed.
