title: Myxopapillary ependymoma of the cerebellopontine angle: retrograde metastasis or primary tumour?
abstract: Myxopapillary ependyoma (MPE) is a rare variant of ependymoma and represents a distinct subentity of tumour. It is almost exclusively restricted to the conus medullaris or filum terminale region. Here we present a case of a presumed primary MPE occurring in the cerebellopontine angle.
