Abstract

Vestibular schwannomas containing cystic parts are common, but it is extremely rare for a vestibular schwannoma to contain fluid–fluid levels. In this report, we present two cases of vestibular schwannoma with magnetic resonance imaging findings of a fluid–fluid level, and we discuss the radiological features and possible mechanism of fluid–fluid level formation.
