Am J Otol. 1985 Nov;6(6):503-7.

Abstract

A rare case of mixed ependymoma and astrocytoma of the cerebellopontine angle is reported. Its clinical presentation, characteristics on evaluation, and prognosis are compared with those of the acoustic neuroma and glioma. The central form of von Recklinghausen's disease and familial multiple lipomatosis as it applies to the patient is also discussed.
