Summary

Seven pontine angle meningiomas were examined with computed tomography (CT). The result was compared with that of a study of 61 acoustic neuromas. These two tumor types differ in manner of growth, volume, shape,attenuation, attachment to bone, cisternal deformation, frequency of calcification, peripheral edema, and bone changes.
