T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (A) with and (B) without contrast show a 2.2-cm heteregenous isointense enhancing lesion in the left cerebellopontine angle, which appeared to abut the left seventh and eighth cranial nerves and was associated with mild vasogenic edema in the middle cerebellar peduncle and adjacent left cerebellar hemisphere. (C) A follow-up MRI scan 2 months after stereotactic radiosurgery revealed a residual 8-mm lesion.
