Extraaxial cerebellopontine angle cavernous hemangiomas are rare and their diagnosis and treatment are challenging.
A 43-year-old female was admitted to the hospital who had repeated hearing loss in her left ear accompanied by tinnitus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hemangioma-like lesion in the left cerebellopontine angle extra-axial cisternal segment. During the surgery, it was found that the lesion was located in the cisternal segment of the root of the auditory nerve. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed that the lesion was a cavernous hemangioma.
We report a case of cavernous hemangioma in the brain spatula cisternal segment of the left auditory nerve. For cranial nerve CMs early diagnosis and surgical removal may maximize the chance of a positive outcome.
桥小脑角外硬膜海绵状血管瘤罕见，其诊断和治疗具有挑战性。
一名 43 岁女性因左耳反复听力下降伴耳鸣入院。磁共振成像显示左侧桥小脑角外硬膜池段有一个类似血管瘤的病变。术中发现病变位于听神经根池段。术后病理检查证实病变为海绵状血管瘤。
我们报告了一例左侧听神经脑池段海绵状血管瘤。对于颅神经 CMs，早期诊断和手术切除可能最大限度地提高良好预后的机会。
