摘要：

Cavernous angiomas are vascular malformations that are seldom found in the cerebellopontine angle or in the internal auditory canal, We report the case of a 51-year-old man suffering from a rapidly progressive hearing loss, tinnitus and minor unsteadiness, Neurootological examination showed a canal paresis of 91% on the right side, The subsequent neuroradiological examination with magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumour of the cerebellopontine angle with intracanalicular extension, The observed intensities on T1-, T2- and gadolinium-enhanced sequences suggested the diagnosis of a vestibular schwannoma, Intraoperatively, a reddish tumour was found and histological examination revealed a cavernous angioma. Even though extensive diagnostic procedures were performed, the correct diagnosis could not be established preoperatively. (C) Pearson Professional Ltd 1997
