Eumycetoma in the cerebellopontine angle region is extremely uncommon with no case being reported as per an extensive review of the literature by the authors. The authors report a case of cerebellopontine angle eumycetoma in a young female managed by subtotal decompression and antifungal treatment. The pre-operative diagnosis of eumycetoma in this location is extremely difficult and the role of histopathology is very important to characterize this uncommon lesion. The prognosis of this bizarre pathology is dismal despite all treatment modalities as compared to the usual tumors of the cerebellopontine angle that generally have a favorable outcome.
小脑桥脑角区足菌肿极为罕见，作者通过广泛查阅文献未发现相关病例报道。作者报告了一例年轻女性小脑桥脑角足菌肿病例，采用次全减压和抗真菌治疗。该部位足菌肿的术前诊断极为困难，组织病理学对于明确这种罕见病变非常重要。与通常预后良好的小脑桥脑角肿瘤相比，尽管采取了所有治疗方式，这种奇特病理的预后仍很糟糕。
