A rare case of tentorial schwannoma in a 29-year-old male is described. The schwannoma was located within the leaves of the tentorium. MRI showed a wedge-shaped enhancing tumour. Exact nerve of origin of the tumour could not be identified. We speculate that the tumour arose from the tentorial branch of the trigeminal nerve. The literature concerning intracranial schwannoma unrelated to a major cranial nerve is reviewed. |
