Description
Summary:[1],[2],[3],[4] A 65-year-old male patient with CP [Cerebellopontine] angle mass and obstructive hydrocephalus underwent VP shunt initially, and a definitive surgery for the tumor was done a month later through retromastoid suboccipital approach in park bench position with near-total excision of the mass. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed a large cystic lesion with fluid of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) intensity along the ventricular catheter causing compression on the parietal cortex [Figure 1].
