Purpose:
To report a case of intracranial tumor in a patient with positive tensilon test.
Methods:
Interventional case report. A 19-year-old male presented with left 6th nerve palsy and had a tensilon test, which was highly positive and was diagnosed as having myasthenia gravis.
Results:
The neurologist scanned the patient, which showed an intracranial tumor in the floor of the temporal fossa on the left side. The patient had surgery and a schwannoma was removed. The VIth nerve palsy did not improve up to two years after surgery.
Conclusions:
A patient with a positive tensilon test can also have an associated intracranial tumor.
