A 49-year-old man on anticoagulation treatment with phenprocoumon presented with acute right sided 7th and 8th cranial nerve palsy, acute hearing loss, headache, vertigo, and vomiting. CT and MRI revealed a cerebellopontine angle tumor 15mm in diameter and acute intratumoral hematoma. A cellular schwannoma composed predominantly of Antoni A tissue with dilated thin-walled vessels, surrounded by old hemorrhage with hemosiderin-laden macrophages was found histologically.
