==== Q11731 ====

The 62-year-old woman, a former smoker for 2 years, has a history of two cesarean sections, underwent polypectomy by hysteroscopy, and had a curettage procedure. She also has a medical history of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypertension (HTA), and dyslipidemia (DLP).

Right-sided [[sudden hearing loss]].

Space-occupying lesion in the right [[cerebellopontine angle]], extending to the ipsilateral [[internal auditory canal]], measuring approximately 22 x 24 mm in maximum diameters on the axial plane (oblique axes) and 17 mm in the long axis. The lesion diffusely enhances with intravenous [[contrast]], presenting a [[dural tail]] towards the anterior region, consistent with [[cerebellopontine angle meningioma]] vs. [[vestibular schwannoma]]. It produces a discreet impression on the adjacent cerebellar parenchyma without edema. The anterosuperior edge of the lesion is immediately adjacent to the cisternal course of the right V cranial nerve, without clear compression.

The acoustico-facial bundle and cistern of the left cerebellopontine angle are without alterations. The [[fourth ventricle]] and cerebellar tonsils are normal. No signal changes are observed in the brainstem or cerebellum.
