Parietal Intraparenchymal Schwannoma: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
account for account for 8% of all primary brain tumours in adults, with most cases being acoustic neuromas, intraparenchymal schwannomas of the brain are rare. Gibson et al. (1) reported the first English-language account of an intraparenchymal intracerebral schwannoma in 1966. Since then, several other cases of this neoplasm have been reported (2, 3). We present a case of an unusual intracranial intraparenchymal schwannoma and discuss the clinical and neuroradiological aspects of this tumor.

Abstract The Intraparenchymal schwannomas are very rare tumors with only 52 reported cases . We describe a 38 years old man with eight months history of poorly controlled seizures despite of medical therapy. On brain CT scan a 1.5 x 1.5 cm hypodense enhancing lesion was seen in right posterior-inferior frontal lobe. On brain MRI the lesion was hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T...
متن کاملIntraparenchymal schwannoma involving the brainstem in a young woman.
Schwannomas are tumors derived from the Schwann cells, which form the myelin sheath of the peripheral nerves. Fewer than 1% of these tumors occur within the brain parenchyma without arising from the cranial nerves. Only 55 cases have been published after the first recorded case. We report a 17-year-old girl with a 3-month history of unspecific dizziness, unsteadiness, and headache. Magnetic res...
متن کاملIntracranial periventricular supratentorial intraparenchymal schwannoma
BACKGROUND Intraparenchymal schwannomas in the central nervous system are very rare. Because most of these are benign, complete excision is the treatment of choice. Further, their radiological findings are difficult to differentiate from glioma. Because Schwann cells are not indigenous to cerebral parenchyma, a lot of speculation has been attached to their origin. CASE DESCRIPTION We report o...
متن کاملMicrocystic/Reticular Schwannoma of the Frontal Lobe: An Unusual Occurrence
Schwannoma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor that typically involves cranial nerves of the head and neck region. Intraparenchymal occurrence of this tumor is uncommon. Even rarer in this site is the microcystic/reticular pattern of schwannoma. This histologic variant, first described in 2008, has a predilection for visceral organs. Herein, we report the first case of microcystic/reticul...
