Sažetak
A 28-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of vertigo and tremor of his right arm. The symptoms were episodic. A neurologic examination revealed weakness and a postural and intentional tremor of the right hand. Audiometric evaluation demonstrated a downsloping sensorineural hearing loss in the right ear. Auditory brainstem evoked responses were also abnormal in the right acoustic pathway between the acoustic nerve and the inferior nuclei in the pons. The left ear was normal. Computed tomography revealed a low-density mass measuring 5.0 mm in diameter in the right cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Magnetic resonance imaging without gadolinium revealed an expansive mass in the right CPA that was attached to the seventh and eighth cranial nerves.
