"Dural tail" adjacent to acoustic neuroma on MRI: a case report

P Lunardi et al. Neuroradiology. 1993.

Abstract

A "dural tail" on Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI has been often observed adjacent to meningiomas and considered to be useful in distinguishing meningioma of the cerebellopontine angle from acoustic neuroma. However, demonstration of a dural tail adjacent to an acoustic neuroma indicates that this sign is not specific.
