Chronic subdural hematoma in the cerebellopontine angle.

A 32-year-old man had the clinical and radiological features of a mass lesion in the left cerebellopontine angle. Surgical exploration revealed a cyst containing 20 ml of altered blood. Microscopic examination of the cyst wall showed the structure of an organizing hematoma in the subdural space. The patient, on repeated questioning, denied a history of head injury.
