title: Non-acoustic neuroma tumor (NANT) of the cerebello-pontine angle: a 15-year experience.
abstract: Between 1980 and 1994, 145 patients affected by tumors of the CP angle underwent surgery at the Division of Neurosurgery of the San Camillo Hospital in Rome. The 56 (39%) "non-acoustic tumors" have been analyzed with regard to epidemiologic factors, clinical picture, neuroimaging findings in order to determine their distinctive diagnostic features. Moreover, the surgical outcome and follow-up results are presented and compared with those of the literature.
