Abstract
Acoustic neurinoma is the most common tumor of the cerebellopontine angle. Therefore, the radiographic techniques used to evaluate the cerebello-pontine angle were developed first for the diagnosis of acoustic neurinoma and were applied to the diagnosis of other cerebello-pontine angle lesions only later.
