A rare case of an extra.axial cavernous angioma in the cerebellopontine angle

Intracranial extra‑axial cavernous angiomas are rare lesions. We report a rare case of extra‑axial cavernous angioma in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) in a 50‑year‑old male, who presented with lower cranial nerve palsy and gait ataxia. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain showed a hyperdense...
