Zusammenfassung:Abstract Endolymphatic sac tumors are rare, histologically benign tumors that pose a danger of local bony destruction. Definitive treatment is complete surgical resection but the use of subsequent radiotherapy remains controversial and is typically used for residual or recurrent disease. Additionally, these tumors are associated with von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome and are present in 10-30% of patients with this autosomal dominant disorder. We present the case of a 69 year-old woman who presented with cranial nerve 7 and 8 palsies that had started in the 1990s and was found to have a left CPA mass. She underwent pre-operative embolization followed by 2 stage craniotomy and post-operative radiotherapy. Testing for the VHL mutation was negative.
