Info
There is a well-defined extra-axial dural-based mass of the left cerebellopontine angle, enlarging the porus acusticus with extension into the internal auditory canal. It displays an isosignal to the cortical grey matter on T1WI / T2WI with an avid homogeneous enhancement on postcontrast sequences with a dural tail sign. A mass effect is noted on the brainstem and middle cerebellar peduncle as well as the VII / VIII nerve roots.
Axial T1 post-contrast images also demonstrate herringbone artefact.
