Abstract EN
Schwannomas are the most common tumor of peripheral nerves which are arising from Schwann cells and are benign in their nature.
Intracranial schwannoma accounts for between 5 and 8% of intracranial tumors, whereas intracerebral schwannoma, a rare disease, accounts for <1% of intracranial schwannomas.
Intracerebral schwannoma has no specific clinical manifestation, and it is not classified by age.
Here, we are reporting a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with attacks of seizures.
MR imaging studies were done and showed right parieto-occipital cortical and subcortical mass lesion with intense enhancement and significant vasogenic oedema with mass effect on the subjacent sulci.
The tumor was surgically removed through a right occipital craniotomy.
Histological findings confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma.
