Imaging and Clinical Features of an Intra-Axial Brain Stem Schwannoma
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 11/02/09

Muzzafar S et al. – A 68–year–old man presented with a highly symptomatic brain stem tumor originally thought to be a brain stem glioma. Intraoperative MR imaging guidance was used to resect the tumor, and real–time evoked potentials improved during surgery. Pathology findings unexpectedly indicated that the tumor was an intra–axial brain stem schwannoma, a condition reported, only 6 times previously in the literature. The patient made an excellent recovery with reversal of his symptoms.
