Abstract

Cerebellopontine angle tumors comprise almost 10 % of all intracranial tumors.
Due to their distinct clinical features and therapy approaches these tumors are listed within
the same neurosurgery pathological group. Such lesions represent a unique challenge in diagnostics
and surgical treatment which reflects their specific anatomic position and a large variety in etiology.
Despite the complexity of such tumors the most recent clinical research studies indicate
that modern neurosurgery can provide successful recognition and monitoring of cerebellopontine
angle lesion progression based on the clinical features and highly specific neuroradiological
and other diagnostic methods. Surgical treatment results in low morbidity and
minimal mortality rate of patients going through such surgery.
