A 70-year-old patient with a history suggestive of acoustic neuroma developed sudden neurological symptoms. CT showed an enhancing mass in the left cerebello-pontine angle thought to be a meningioma. Magnetic resonance (MR) with gadolinium enhancement demonstrated appearances consistent with a haemorrhagic acoustic neuroma, a diagnosis confirmed at surgery. The literature regarding haemorrhagic intracerebral tumours and MR appearances of acoustic neuroma is reviewed.
