Abstract:
:A case of cerebellopontine angle epithelial cyst is described. Lesions in this region usually present with hearing loss, tinnitus, dysequilibrium, headaches, facial numbness and occasionally trigeminal neuralgia. Our patient presented with the unusual phenomenon of episodic facial palsy. The literature reporting this lesion as well as this mode of presentation has been reviewed.
