The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) (Latin: angulus cerebellopontinus) is located between the cerebellum and the pons.[1] The cerebellopontine angle is the site of the cerebellopontine angle cistern.[2]
The cerebellopontine angle is also the site of a set of neurological disorders known as the cerebellopontine angle syndrome.
