Objective: To evaluate lipomas of the internal auditory canal (IAC) and cerebellopontine
angle (CPA). Study Design: Retrospective review. Methods: Review of a multi‐institutional …

OBJECTIVE: To define the management of internal acoustic meatus and cerebellopontine
angle (CPA) lipomas according to their clinical, histological, and surgical characteristics …

The imaging evaluation of patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) focuses on the
acoustic pathways from the cochlea to the auditory cortex. Magnetic resonance imaging …

Summary¶ Intracranial lipomas located in the cerebellopontine angle are extremely rare.
These tumours are maldevelopmental lesions which can cause slowly progessive …

✓ The authors present a rare case of lipoma of the sylvian fissure found in a 34-year-old
man who presented with seizures. The patient underwent craniotomy and an attempted …

Abstract Context.—Lipochoristomas (lipomatous choristomas) are rare tumors of the
acoustic nerve (cranial nerve VIII/vestibulocochlear nerve) within the internal acoustic canal …

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) can be classified audiometrically into two varieties:
sensory (cochlear) and neural (retrocochlear). Individuals with sensory SNHL have damage …

BACKGROUND: Intracranial lipomas are thought to be congenital in origin and are very
rare, representing 0.1% to 1.7% of all intracranial tumors. Most ICLs are located at midline …

PURPOSE To determine whether masses of the internal auditory canal are hypointense
relative to cerebrospinal fluid, and therefore visible, on fast spin-echo T2-weighted MR …

The petrous portion is a pyramid-shaped wedge of bone that forms the medial aspect of the
temporal bone. The apex of the pyramid points medially and rests adjacent to the clivus …
