Acoustic neuroma causing subarachnoid haemorrhage.
The case reported in this paper appears to be the first example of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage complicating an acoustic tumour. The only comparable case is one of a pontocerebellar angle tumour, but its histological nature is unstated. The excellent response to surgical management has been gratifying, and the patient has remained well over an extended period of surveillance.
