The flocculus in computed tomography
DL Daniels, VM Haughton, AL Williams and TF Berns
The flocculus may simulate a cerebellopontine angle mass in computed tomography (CT). The CT appearance of the flocculus was compared with acoustic neuroma. Normal internal auditory canals, symmetric cerebellopontine angle cisterns, modest contrast enhancement, and a location posterior to the porus acousticus distinguish the flocculus from an acoustic neuroma.
