Magnification angiography. Identifying the capsular vasculature of acoustic neuromas.
Five cases of acoustic neuromas studied angiographically are presented. Magnification techniques enhance the visualization of the fine capsular vessels of these tumors. When shown, these abnormal vessels are probably pathognomonic of a neuroma.
