Signs and Symptoms
Lesions in the area of cerebellopontine angle cause signs and symptoms secondary to compression of nearby cranial nerves, including cranial nerve V, cranial nerve VII, and cranial nerve VIII.
For example, involvement of CN V from a cerebellopontine mass lesion often results in loss of the ipsilateral corneal reflex.
Patients with larger tumours can develop Bruns nystagmus due to compression of the flocculi.

Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or symptoms:
“Wherever I look, I see signs of the commandment to honor one’s parents and nowhere of a commandment that calls for the respect of a child.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
