title: Schwannomas of the falx.
abstract: A case of multiple schwannomas arising from the falx in a 17-year-old girl, previously operated on for an intracerebral schwannoma, is presented. The appearance of multiple schwannomas has to be considered in the followup of the rare cases of intracranial schwannomas not related to cranial nerves.
