Fourth ventricular dilatation is usually seen along with tri-ventriculomegaly in patients with communicating hydrocephalus. Isolated fourth ventricular dilatation is uncommon, especially as a sequelae following infective or post hemorrhagic communicating hydrocephalus.1 Ventricular shunting often causes a collapse in the system, and postinflammatory scarring in the aqueduct causes adhesions bet...

Nasal cavity localization of schwannoma is very rare. We present a case of schwannoma in seventeen-year old patient, treated surgically with good results.

Schwannoma of the hypoglossal nerve is extremely rare. We report the clinical manifestations of a patient with Schwannoma of the hypoglossal nerve with hemi-atrophy of the tongue and numbness in the lip. Magnetic resonance image study of the brain showed a lobulated mass at the right posterior fossa with an extension to the right upper neck. Surgical intervention was performed with right occipi...

A schwannoma is a benign soft tissue tumor composed of Schwann cells. Clinically, the tumor is slow-growing and usually asymptomatic, rarely developing neurological symptoms. We present a case of a 44-year-old female who was diagnosed with an incomplete high radial nerve palsy, showing a wrist drop and extension of fingers due to schwannoma on the radial nerve of the upper arm. The patient show...

Loss of the tumor suppressor merlin causes development of the tumors of the nervous system, such as schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas occurring spontaneously or as part of a hereditary disease Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). Current therapies, (radio) surgery, are not always effective. Therefore, there is a need for drug treatments for these tumors. Schwannomas are the most frequent of ...

The giant schwannoma as such rare occurring We present series of three cases unusual locations, masquerading other soft tissue tumors. : Case 1: A 40-year-old male presented with large exophytic ulcerated growth on his left thigh. lesion was deep dermal location...

BACKGROUND Scrotal schwannoma is a rare neoplasm and poses a diagnostic challenge to urologists. This article describes a rare case of ancient scrotal schwannoma and reviews the current modality of investigation and treatment of this tumour. CASE REPORT A 28 year old man presented with a 3-month history of an asymptomatic scrotal swelling. Ultrasonography and computer topography revealed an i...

Schwannoma or neurilemmoma is an infrequent benign tumor in the oral cavity that originates from the Schwann cells on the neural sheath of the peripheral nerves. Schwannomas are frequently located in the soft tissues of head and neck region, but only a 1 to 12% of them are located in the oral cavity. Some histological variants of schwannoma have been described including the cellular, plexiform,...

Background and Importance Intraosseous schwannoma is a relatively rare clinical entity that typically arises in vertebral and mandibular bone. Intraosseous schwannoma located entirely within the petrous bone is exceedingly rare, and only two cases have been reported to date. Clinical Presentation A 47-year-old Asian man was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of double vision. Neuro...
