Abstract
One hundred and twenty-six cases of cerebellopontine-angle tumors with various histologies are presented. Results of 75 operated vestibular neurinomas, 22 meningiomas, and 16 tumors with other histologies are discussed. The method of irradiation and non-radical surgery may be an alternative for treatment.
