Abstract
A large meningioma in the cerebellopontine angle manifested itself as a contralateral hemifacial spasm. On computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans, the brain stem was markedly displaced and distorted by the tumor. After total removal of the meningioma, the hemifacial spasm completely disappeared.
