Frontal intraparenchymal schwannoma

Intraparenchymal schwannomas are rare. The usual presentation is of a classical intracranial mass lesion. We report a frontal intraparenchymal schwannoma in a pediatric patient with a history of seizure. An MRI scan revealed a uniformly enhancing tumor with perilesional edema. This type of tumor is rarely found in this location. It is important to recognize and distinguish a schwannoma from other more common frontal brain tumors as the outcome is good and recurrence is rare.
