Abstract

We present a case of cerebellopontine (CP) angle ganglioglioma in a young child with developmental delay and no trigeminal nerve symptoms. MR imaging demonstrated a mass of homogeneous low signal intensity in the left CP angle on T1-weighted images with no enhancement with gadolinium, and of relatively homogeneous high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.
