Abstract
- Massive hemorrhage into an intracranial neurinoma is a rare event. A 42-year old man noticed hearing loss, nystagmus, diplopia and paresthesia on the left side of the face. A computerized tomography scan demonstrated a large high density mass in the left cerebellopontine angle. The tumor was successfully removed and postoperative course was favorable. Such a case of acoustic neurinoma which revealed itself through intratumoral hemorrhage has not been previously reported in Korea.
