A 60-year-old woman experienced a severe spatial disorientation after sudden interruption of the right vestibulocochlear nerve (on removal of an acustic neurinoma). She saw her husband approaching to her bed upside-down. This "reversal of vision metamorphopsia" resolved after a few hours.

The case of a 56-year-old female patient is presented; she was hospitalized for decreased vision of both eyes, discrete hemeralopia, vertigo, right hypoacusis and occipital headache. The eye fundus examination showed lesions of retinitis pigmentosa in the inferotemporal sector and decreased arterial calibre. The patient was diagnosed neurologically as a right acoustic neurinoma with pontocerebellar syndrome.

This article describes three cases of acustic neurinoma in which both clinical examination and audiovestibular investigations raised strong suspicions of acustic neurinoma but no tumours could be demonstrated by CT. Magnetic resonance scanning employing gadolinium-DTPA revealed small intrameatal acustic neurinomas in all three cases. Attention is drawn to the fact that magnetic resonance scanning provides a new diagnostic possibility for acustic neurinoma and is a valuable supplement to the established diagnostic procedures in suspected acustic neurinoma even although CT reveals normal anatomical conditions in the internal auditory meatus.
