It is unusual for a @entity2946 to occur in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Four of the total 63 cases of @entity2946 managed in our department between 1988 to 1998, presented with a mass in the cerebellopontine angle. There were two @entity1 amongst these four @entity1 , aged eight and nine years. The other two @entity1 were young adults. Three @entity1 had primary CPA @entity2946 , while the fourth case had a recurrence in this region, following the excision of the @entity5 . All the four cases were managed by gross total microsurgical excision and craniospinal irradiation. One of the two @entity1 , developed subfrontal recurrence after 1 year and 8 months of initial treatment, while the other @entity1 developed a large recurrence at primary site, within three months of post-operative irradiation. However, the adult @entity1 developed CPA recurrence and subsequent cervical intramedullary metastasis within two and a half years of diagnosis. These three cases succumbed to their disease, between three months to thirty months of their initial management. However the fourth @entity1 , a 20 years female with desmoplastic variant, was well at two and a half years of follow up.
