The Natural History of Pediatric Cerebellopontine Angle Lipomas
Pediatric CPA lipomas represent a rare entity of lateral skull base tumors. Most patients present with headaches and SNHL in the adolescent age. While progression of SNHL and tumor growth is possible, most patients do not appear to demonstrate worsening symptoms or tumor growth throughout follow-up. As such, initial management with serial MRI appears to be a safe strategy.
