Cerebellopontine-Angle Meningioma

神经外科

Common symptoms

声音嘶哑、共济失调、呛咳、剧痛、神经痛、耳鸣、脑桥小脑角综合征、颅内压增高、面部麻木、角膜反射迟钝

The pathology of disease

Cerebellopontine-angle meningioma arises from posterior petrous bone/tentorial invasion; excludes clival. Many asymptomatic/incidental; rare multiple/familial. 50% parasagittal; also convexity/falcine; then sphenoid ridge/tuberculum sellae/olfactory groove/CPA/tentorium; rare intraventricular/epidural.

Common Symptoms

Hoarseness; ataxia; choking; severe pain; neuralgia; tinnitus; CPA syndrome; raised ICP; facial numbness; diminished corneal reflex

Causes and Pathogenesis

Mostly endothelial/fibroblastic; from posterior petrous/medial internal auditory canal; connected to superior/inferior petrosal/sigmoid sinuses; spherical nodular (rare flat). Supply from posterior petrous dura + AICA/PICA. Groups: pre-/post-internal-auditory-canal.

Treatment

Surgery, rehabilitation

Preventive Measures

Surgery = only effective method. Unilateral suboccipital craniotomy + CSF release avoids cerebellar retraction; exposes lower CNs/tentorial incisure/midbrain/upper basilar/CN III. Combined temporal + suboccipital approach for better exposure. Trans-tentorial approach = wide field, but risks brain/Labbe-vein injury → postoperative epilepsy/hemiparesis.

Department to Visit

It is recommended to visit the Neurosurgery department; an appointment can be booked on this platform before the visit.
