title: Intraparenchymal schwannomas of the central nervous system: an additional case report and review.
abstract: Intraparenchymal location of schwannomas in the central nervous system (CNS) is rare. Occasional cases involving the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord have been reported. We report here an additional case of thoracic intramedullary schwannoma in a 42 year old woman. The literature concerning intraparenchymal schwannomas in the CNS is reviewed and discussed.
