Abstract:
Intracranial schwannoma constitutes 8-10% of all primary intracranial tumors. The majority of them derive from cranial nerves, especially from the vestibulocochlear nerve. Intraparenchymatous schwannoma of the cent ral nervous system, on the other hand, is very rare. We report a rare case of brainstem schwannoma with the review of literature 8.
