The differential diagnosis of pontine angle meningioma and acoustic neuroma with computed tomography
Abstract
Seven pontine angle meningiomas were examined with computed tomography (CT). The result was compared with that of a study of 61 acoustic neuromas. These two tumor types differ in manner of growth, volume, shape, attenuation, attachment to bone, cisternal deformation, frequency of calcification, peripheral edema, and bone changes.
