CP angle tumor or Acoustic Neurinoma or Vestibular Schwannoma -- all these are names for a tumor arising from the insulation layer of the nerve for hearing and balance.
The tumor wedges between the cerebellum and the skull surrounded by host of critical arteries and nerves. The most likely side effect of the surgery being paralysis of half the face. With good neurosurgical techniques it is possible to remove this tumor safely, with smile preservation .
