cerebellopontine angle การใช้

The cerebellopontine angle is the anatomic space between the cerebellum and the pons filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
A distinct neurologic syndrome of deficits occurs due to the anatomic proximity of the cerebellopontine angle to specific cranial nerves.
From its origin, it branches along the inferior portion of the pons at the cerebellopontine angle before reaching the cerebellum.
They tend to occur off the midline, especially in the so-called cerebellopontine angle or in the basal areas above the pituitary gland.
Further causes, besides an aneurysm, multiple sclerosis or cerebellopontine angle tumor, include : a posterior fossa tumor, any other expanding lesion or even brainstem diseases from strokes.
