Acoustic schwannomas are the benign tumors arising from vestibular division of 8 cranial nerve. The worldwide incidence is 1 in 1,00,000 population. This accounts for about 9% of all intracranial tumors and
about 90% of all cerebellopontine (CP) angle tumors. We report a rare case of unilateral acoustic schwannoma with involvement of pupil and with 3rd cranial nerve palsy; but without evidence of any adjacent cranial
neuropathies and hydrocephalic changes. The exact mode of association between the tumor and oculomotor nerve involvement could not be established.
