The case reported in this paper appears to be the first example of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage complicating an acoustic tumour. The only comparable case is one of a pontocerebellar angle tumour, but its histological nature is unstated. The excellent response to surgical management has been gratifying, and the patient has remained well over an extended period of surveillance.
