Summary

A rare cerebellopontine angle paraganglioma, originating from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery, presented identically to acoustic neuroma. Diagnosis required histopathology, and endoscopic minimal retrosigmoid approach ensured safe tumor removal.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Vascular tumors
  • Cerebellopontine angle anatomy

Background:

  • Acoustic neuromas are the most common cerebellopontine angle tumors (80%).
  • Paragangliomas are rare in the cerebellopontine angle region.
  • This case highlights a rare instance of paraganglioma in this location.

Observation:

  • The cerebellopontine angle paraganglioma arose from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery.
  • Clinical and radiological presentations mimicked acoustic neuroma.
  • Intraoperative findings revealed a vascular tumor, necessitating histopathologic confirmation.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of paraganglioma.
  • The tumor's unique location may be linked to embryologic factors.

  • The tumor was indistinguishable from neuroma preoperatively.

    • Implications:

    • Endoscopic assistance with a minimal retrosigmoid approach enables safe and complete tumor resection.
    • Understanding embryologic origins may explain rare tumor locations.
    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for cerebellopontine angle masses.
