Summary

A cerebellopontine angle lipoma mimicked acoustic neuroma symptoms, posing a diagnostic challenge. Even advanced magnetic resonance imaging could not definitively pre-operatively identify the lipoma.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors are common, with acoustic neuromas being the most frequent.
  • Lipomas in the CPA are rare and can present with symptoms similar to acoustic neuromas.
  • Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is crucial for surgical planning and patient outcomes.
