A 39-year-old female had been subject to headache, and intermittent seizures for 9 years and decreasing memory for one year, without obvious neurological signs. An MRI revealed a 2x2 cm contrast-enhanced lesion in the frontal lobe, with a cyst and peritumoral edema, which was not attached to the

Frontal intraparenchymal schwannoma: an unusual presentation.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS A 13-year-old male with an 11-year history of a seizure disorder presented with recent onset raised intracranial pressure symptoms and no obvious phakomatosis. CT revealed a heterogeneous, frontal, intra-axial, densely enhancing, solid lesion with intense perilesional oedema and mass effect.

Frontal intraparenchymal Schwannoma--case report and review of literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracranial intraparenchymal Schwannomas are very rare. Twenty-eight cases of frontal intraparenchymal Schwannomas have been reported so far. These generally present with seizures, raised intracranial pressure, nasal stuffiness and epistaxis. We present a patient with frontal intraparenchymal

Only registered users can translate articles

A 38-year-old intact female Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) was evaluated for progressive seizure activity, pale mucous membranes, deficient pupillary light and menace responses, and irregular shallow respiration. Because of poor response to treatment, the animal was euthanized. Gross

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome after Surgical Resection of a Giant Vestibular Schwannoma: Case Report and Literature Review.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a constellation of neurologic symptoms-seizures, headaches, altered mental status, and visual changes-associated with characteristic brain magnetic resonance imaging findings seen on T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery

Invasive intracerebral schwannoma mimicking meningioma in a child.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS An 8-year-old boy presented to the emergency department after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure that lasted for 5 min. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 2x2 cm, intraaxial, contrast-enhanced cortical lesion in the posterior right frontal lobe. On several images the lesion appeared to be

Subfrontal schwannoma masquerading as meningioma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracranial schwannomas not associated with cranial nerves are rare and seldom encountered in the subfrontal region. We report a case of subfrontal schwannoma in a 21-year-old man who presented with seizures. Radiological features resembled an olfactory groove meningioma. The histological diagnosis

Frontal lobe intracerebral schwannoma mimicking metastatic lesion in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracerebral schwannomas are quite rare. Due to their rarity and lack of pathognomonic imaging features, intracerebral schwannoma may be overlooked in the initial differential diagnosis of an intra-axial mass with heterogeneous ring enhancement, such as a high-grade glioma, metastasis or lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE We report a well-documented case of intracerebral schwannoma, presenting as a cystic and solid parietal mass, arising in a 20-year-old woman. Possible mechanisms underlying the histogenesis of this rare lesion are discussed. METHODS The clinical, radiological and pathological features are
