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.
