title: Intracerebral and intracerebellar neurilemoma.
abstract: Neurilemomas (schwannomas) within the brain substance and not associated with a peripheral nerve are rare. We have presented two such cases, one with a prominent angiomatous component. Neither patient had neurofibromatosis. Both patients had headache and focal neurologic signs, and surgical excision was curative in both cases.
