Acoustic Neuroma-MRI



MRI Brain revealed a well defined, lobulated, heterogenous, multicystic mass lesion in the right cerebello pontine angle extending into the jugular foramen on the right side with mass effect and obstructive hydrocephalous. A right retro mastoid sub occipital craniectomy & microsurgical tumour decompression was done. Part of the tumor extending into jugular foramen was left behind as it was closely adherent to lower cranial nerves. Neurilemmoma was confirmed on histology.
