AI Article Synopsis
- Lipomas located in the cerebellopontine angle are uncommon but have been documented in medical literature.
- The literature review focuses on understanding how these lipomas develop (pathogenesis) and the strategies for managing them.
- The synthesis of this information aims to provide better insight into the condition for both medical professionals and patients.
Article Abstract
Lipomas of the cerebellopontine angle are rare, although well described in the literature. A review of the literature with an emphasis on pathogenesis and management is presented.

Fully endoscopic neurosurgery using a two-handed technique for cerebellopontine angle tumors via the retrosigmoid approach.

Background: Surgery for tumors in the cerebellopontine angle is always a significant challenge due to the densely packed neurovascular structures, the narrow deep location, and the complex relationship between the lesions and surrounding neurovascular structures. Recently, great attention has been given to the neuroendoscope for its exclusive advantages, which have added a new dimension to many classical microscopic surgeries. However, the feasibility and advisability of fully endoscopic neurosurgery for cerebellopontine angle tumors remain to be further evaluated.

Background And Objectives: The intraosseous subarcuate loop (SL) is a unique variant of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), where a loop of the artery is trapped in the petrous bone's subarcuate fossa (SF). Recognizing this variant is crucial for planning cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgeries; however, data regarding its frequency and management vary in the published literature. A cohort from a single center was studied using MRI to assess its prevalence, and the findings were compared with the existing literature.

Background: Full-endoscopic microvascular decompression (fE-MVD) is an emerging treatment option for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, the risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence of TN after fE-MVD procedure remain controversial. The aim of the present study was to summarize the surgical technique of fE-MVD for the treatment of TN and to develop a predictive model for recurrence at 1 year postoperatively based on independent risk factors.

Paragangliomas are slow-growing, extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumors with rare intracranial presentation. Although benign, they can be locally aggressive tumors causing bone destruction and compression related symptoms. We report the case of a 19 years old, normotensive female who presented with headache and vertigo for the past six months.

Background: Ganglioneuroma represents an uncommon benign tumor arising from the sympathetic nerves, and its development from the fifth nerve is an infrequent entity. Few ganglioneuromas arising from the fifth nerve have been discussed in literature. The authors describe the second pediatric ganglioneuroma arising from the fifth nerve.
