摘要：
Subependymomas are rare yet benign tumors that are commonly found within the ventricular system. We describe the case of a 51-year-old male presenting with hydrocephalus and progressive headaches found to have a right cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesion encasing multiple blood vessels and cranial nerves (CN). The lesion was resected subtotally via a retrosigmoid approach and was found to be a subependymoma. CPA subependymomas are extremely rare lesions. The neuroimaging and histopathological findings as well as a comprehensive literature review of similar cases are discussed.
