  2. Cerebellopontine angle syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellopontine_angle...

    The cerebellopontine angle syndrome is a distinct neurological syndrome of deficits that can arise due to the closeness of the cerebellopontine angle to specific cranial nerves. [1] Indications include unilateral hearing loss (85%), speech impediments, disequilibrium, tremors or other loss of motor control.

  3. Cerebellopontine angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellopontine_angle

    The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) (Latin: angulus cerebellopontinus) is located between the cerebellum and the pons. [1] The cerebellopontine angle is the site of the cerebellopontine angle cistern. [2] The cerebellopontine angle is also the site of a set of neurological disorders known as the cerebellopontine angle syndrome.

  4. Translabyrinthine approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translabyrinthine_approach

    The translabyrinthine approach is a surgical approach to treating serious disorders of the cerebellopontine angle, (CPA), which is the most common location of posterior fossa tumors. especially acoustic neuroma. [1]

  5. Intracranial epidermoid cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_epidermoid_cyst

    Epidermoid tumors strongly adhere to the brain stem or cranial nerves. Often the lining of the tumor connected to the brain stem or parts difficult to "peel" away are left behind leaving residual tumor after surgery, this can contribute to the risk of regrowth. About 40% of these cysts originate in the cerebellopontine angle. [3]

  6. Vestibular schwannoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_schwannoma

    IAC tumors that grow beyond 1.5 cm in diameter expand into the relatively empty space of the cerebellopontine angle, taking on the characteristic 'ice-cream-cone' appearance seen on MRIs. As 'space-occupying-lesions,' the tumors can reach 3 to 4 cm or more in size and infringe on the facial nerve (facial expression) and trigeminal nerve (facial ...

  7. Bruns nystagmus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruns_nystagmus

    Bruns nystagmus is an unusual type of bilateral nystagmus most commonly occurring in patients with cerebellopontine angle tumours.It is caused by the combination of slow, large amplitude nystagmus (gaze paretic nystagmus) when looking towards the side of the lesion, and rapid, small amplitude nystagmus (vestibular nystagmus) when looking away from the side of the lesion. [1]

  8. Subependymoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subependymoma

    Subependymomas of the fourth ventricle, extending into the cerebellopontine angle via the foramen of Luschka, right side of illustration. Patients are often asymptomatic, and are incidentally diagnosed. Larger tumours are often with increased intracranial pressure. [2]

  9. Sensorineural hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensorineural_hearing_loss

    Tumor. Cerebellopontine angle tumour (junction of the pons and cerebellum) – The cerebellopontine angle is the exit site of both the facial nerve(CN7) and the vestibulocochlear nerve(CN8). Patients with these tumors often have signs and symptoms corresponding to compression of both nerves.
