[Intracerebellar schwannoma. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature].
Intracranial schwannoma represents 8% of all primary brain tumors. It usually develops from the Schwann cells of a cranial nerve. Hemispheric intraparenchymal localisations are quite rare; 15 cases have been reported (3, 5, 12, 10, 14, 15, 18, 19, 23, 26, 28, 29) including one intraventricular localization (8). Intracerebellar localization is even by more exceptional. In 1977, one case was reported by Komminoth (16). Since then only one other case has been published in 1987 by Sarkar (25). In this paper, we report a third case.
