Abstract
Besides acoustic neuromas, the cerebellopontine angle harbors a wide v ariety of masses, named ''nonacoustic neuroma tumors,'' as a whole. Al though magnetic resonance imaging has much improved our ability to dif ferentiate among posterior fossa lesions, misdiagnoses may still occur when facing rare, controversial cases.
