Abstract
|
|
|
Intra-axial tumors of the brain stem that growing into the cerebellopotine angle exophytically have been rarely reported in
adult. Differentiation of the intra-axial tumors from the extra-axial tumors occurring in the cerebellopontine angle can be
difficult due to the similarity of the clinical and radiological features. We describe a rare case of pontine anaplastic astrocytoma in adult with ventrolateral exophytic growth from the pons that presented as a cerebellopontine angle mass.
Clinico-radiological features that distinguish this rare lesion of the exophytic pontine glioma from cerebellopontine angle
mass were discussed also.
