Abstract
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.
