Purpose:
To evaluate the differences of MR imaging findings between intracranial and extracranial schwannomas.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the MR images of 98 schwannomas and compared the imaging findings between intracranial and extracranial schwannomas.
Results:
The number of intratumoral cysts was greater in intracranial than in extracranial schwannomas (4.8±7.2 vs 1.8±4.1; p<0.05).
Conclusion:
The number of intratumoral cysts was different between intracranial and extracranial schwannomas.
