title: [Tumors of the temporal bone and the cerebellopontine angle. Diagnosis, characterization and assessment of extension by using imaging technics].
abstract: We discuss in this paper the reliability of neuroimaging techniques in the diagnosis of neoplastic masses of the posterior-lateral skull base. We also discuss the role of TC and MRI in the evaluation of the extension pattern of these masses.
