| Saggital view of a human brain from an MRI (magnetic resonance image)
to illustrate the location of the cerebellopontine angle. |
The cerebellopontine angle
(CPA) is formed at the junction of the cerebellum, pons, and medulla; the most
common tumor found in this location is the acoustic
neuroma. Meningiomas are
the second most common tumor found in this location.
