title: Cystic cerebellar schwannoma.
abstract: Cystic cerebellar schwannoma is a rare tumour which may not be considered when a low attenuation computed tomographic (CT) lesion is seen in the cerebellar parenchyma. Since the origin of the Schwann cell in the cerebellar parenchyma is conjectural, immunohistochemical techniques are necessary for a diagnosis.
