Vestibular schwannoma or acoustic neuroma is a benign, slow-growing tumor that originates in the Schwann cells, where it eventually compresses the nerve and enlarges the internal acoustic meatus. The present case report presents a patient that arrives at the otorhinolaryngology service with complaints of tinnitus, with no other evident alterations and the imaging exam revealed a voluminous lesion in the left point-cerebellar angle. The methodology used for the research was a case study, with the objective of condensing the case and bringing up its most common radiological findings, based on bibliographic studies. Magnetic resonance imaging is of utmost importance for the treatment and proper diagnosis of the patient with suspected vestibular schwannoma.
