Large cerebello-pontine epidermoid tumor in a child

Abstract

Cerebellopontine angle lesions are more commonly found in adults; however, they are uncommon in children. 13 year female child presented with progressive cerebellar signs and decreased hearing in left ear. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of left cerebello-pontine angle epidermoid tumor that was treated surgically. In this rare case we discuss the imaging findings and review the relevant literature.
