The CP angle is a small but critical area of the brain where important nerves for hearing, balance, and facial movement pass through

Even small lesions can cause symptoms

Common Symptoms

One-sided hearing loss or tinnitus

Swallowing or voice changes

Balance problems or vertigo

Facial numbness or weakness

MRI with contrast is the best tool to detect CP angle tumors like acoustic schwannoma, meningioma, or epidermoid cysts—conditions that often start small but can affect multiple cranial nerves

Treatment options depending on the MRI findings

Monitoring small slow-growing tumors

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Microsurgery for larger or symptomatic lesions
