Meningioma mimicking vestibular schwannoma – a case report
Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Meningiomas are one of the most common intracranial neoplasms, usually located in the supratentorial region. Their location within the posterior cranial fossa is rare, but even in such cases, the diagnosis is possible owing to the characteristic imaging features. In this article, we present a case report of a patient with a meningioma of an internal acoustical meatus resembling vestibulo-cochlear nerve schwannoma in its typical location, causing symptoms such as asymmetric hearing loss, tinnitus and dizziness.<br/><br/>
