title: Clinical perspectives regarding patients with internal auditory canal or cerebellopontine angle lesions: surgical and radiation oncology perspectives.
abstract: The management of patients with cerebellopontine angle (CPA) or internal auditory canal (IAC) lesions is presented from the surgical and radiation oncology perspective. A full appreciation of the treatment options these patients experience is important so that their pre- and post-operative imaging exams may be understood and interpreted correctly.
