Cerebellopontine Angle Tumour

AbstractA 54 year old woman presenting to the psychiatric services with persecutory delusions, complex visual hallucinations and fluctuating levels of consciousness was discovered to have a meningioma occupying the cerebellopontine angle. The psychiatric symptomatology of cerebellopontine angle lesions is reviewed and the pathogenic mechanisms are explored in the light of the symptomatology observed.

AbstractA case report of a thrombosed posterior-inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm is described. The tumour masqueraded as a vestibular schwannoma on imaging but the presenting featureswere unusual, the facial pain and weakness predominating despite well preserved hearing. This is an example of a rare cerebellopontine angle tumour and highlights the need for suspicion when lesions present atypically.

Facial Numbness

AbstractIn a series of 100 patients with unilateral acoustic neuroma the incidence of mastoid aching was found to be 25 per cent, though none of the patients reported this as their principal symptom. Mastoid ache was not related to tumour size, hydrocephalus, or duration of symptoms. However, there was a significantly higher incidence of facial numbness and diminished facial sensation, but not facial weakness, compared with the whole series. Since motor fibres are more resistant to pressure than sensory fibres, mastoid ache may signify the pressure of an expanding cerebellopontine angle tumour.
