title: Oculomotor nerve schwannoma.
abstract: Oculomotor nerve schwannoma is an extremely rare tumour. Only 26 sufficiently described cases of oculomotor nerve schwannomas were found in the literature. The case of an oculomotor nerve schwannoma in a 12-year-old girl is presented. Clinical manifestations, as well as the aim for the radical resection with oculomotor function preservation are reviewed.
