Abstract
Meningioma in a broader sense is among the most common type of brain tumor. About one third of all intracranial tumors evolve from a meningeal origin. Localization and size of this mostly benign neoplasia will define the type and severity of resulting neurological failure. This clinician's corner presents a female patient with a rare localization of meningioma. The initial symptoms consisted of vertigo, which lead to the diagnosis of acoustic neurinoma. After surgery, a meningioma in the meatus acusticus internus was diagnosed histologically. Due to left sided postoperative facial palsy, the patient was assigned to acupuncture. The palsy was controlled after 15 treatment sessions, however, two years after the final acupuncture treatment the meningioma recurred.
