AB Vestibular  schwannomas  (VSs),  previously  known  as  acoustic  neuromas,  account  for  80%  of  all  lesions  of  the  cerebellopontine  angle  (CPA).  This  chapter  will  focus  on  the  other  20%—a  group  whose  diverse  pathologies  share  a  common  clinical  presentation  of  injury  to  the  cochlea-vestibular  system.  The  most  common  of  these  are  meningiomas,  followed  by  epidermoids  and  lipomas.  Because  their  symptomatology  is  often  similar,  differentiation  between  various  pathologies  of  the  CPA  relies  heavily  on  their  imaging  characteristics.
