abstract: A 61-year-old female presented with an abducens nerve neurinoma manifesting as diplopia and facial numbness. The tumor was totally removed, and the exact origin was confirmed intraoperatively. Neuroradiological imaging and clinical history are frequently insufficient to obtain an accurate preoperative diagnosis of intracranial neurinoma.
