Abstract
Computer tomography (CT) was used in 14 patients with a working diagnosis of posterior cranial fossa tumors. Twelve CT scans revealed tumors. The smallest tumor demonstrated extended 15 mm to the angle.
The data from CT was analyzed in combination with the findings from multiple radiographic techniques and from otoneurologic examinations to define the extent and nature of the tumors.
CT provided an accurate and helpful preoperative evaluation of the tumos. CT should be included in a battery testing of posterior cranial fossa pathology.
