title: Hematomas of the pons.
abstract: Two cases of hematomas located in the latral portion of the pons that were erroneously diagnosed preoperatively as cerebellopontine angle tumors are presented. In both cases, the hematomas were evacuated successfully. Lateropontine hematomas must be included in the differential diagnosis of the cerebellopontine angle syndrome.
