Summary

Computerized tomography of the posterior cranial fossa and the cerebellopontine angle facilitates the identification of lesions 1–1,5 cm in size using i.v. contrast material.

After lumbar puncture and injection of 5–6 ml of air it is possible to detect tumors less than 1 cm in diameter and observe the nerves within the cerebellopontine angle cistern and internal auditory canal. The procedure causes only mild or moderate discomfort.
