Cerebellopontine angle tumor
Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesions account for up to 10% of all intracranial tumors.
Types
The most common CPA lesions are vestibular schwannomas (70-80%), meningiomas (10-15%) and epidermoid cysts (5%). CPA tumors are estimated to be the secondary cause for up to 9.9% patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
