Abstract:
A 46 year old male presented with a cerebellopontine angle syndrome. CT scan and MRI revealed a cystic mass with a solid nodule in the cerebellopontine angle. At surgery, a vascular lesion was encountered which was totally excised in two stages. The histopathology was consistent with that of a cavernous malformation. Only four such cases have been reported so far in the English literature. The clinical and radiological features and the surgical management are discussed.
