Epidermoid tumour of the cerebellopontine angle: diagnosis by MRI.
Epidermoids are the third most common cerebellopontine angle tumour, and their diagnosis in the last two decades has been largely obtained using computed tomography (CT). More recently magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a valuable diagnostic tool, and the signal characteristics and enhancement pattern of an epidermoid following intravenous gadolinium with MRI is presented and the literature reviewed.
