Isolated cerebellopontine angle craniopharyngioma.
Primary cerebellopontine angle craniopharyngioma is rare; only 5 surgically treated patients have been reported. We report a 54-year-old female with craniopharyngioma occurring in isolation in the cerebellopontine angle and compare this patient with previously published reports. The origin of and surgical strategy for such tumors are discussed.
