Report of Two Cases

Richard W. Babin, MD; Jonathan D. Fratkin, MD; Pasquale A. Cancilla, MD

Arch Otolaryngol. 1980;106(8):500-502.

Abstract
Most mass lesions of the internal auditory canal and cerebellopontine angle are neoplastic, expansile, and eventually symptomatic. We report two cases of neurogenic hamartomas at these anatomic sites. In a patient with unrelated auditory or vestibular symptoms, such a developmental lesion might result in false-positive posterior fossa contrast results.
