Abstract:
A rare case of intradural cerebellar vermian schwannoma has been reported. A 43 years old woman admitted to our hospital because of headache and weakness of upper extremities. CT brain scan showed an irregular lower density with intermixed high density at the middle posterior fossa, and large lower density with peripheral irregular thickness of rim enhancement after contrast media. CT cervical spine showed a lower density with displaced cord to the right side on the dorsal surface at C1 portion. Total enucleation of irregular brownish-gray large cystic mass resulted in uneventful recovery. There was no attachment to any nerve root.
