Object:
Intraosseous schwanomma of the calvarium METHODS: This paper reports the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with an intraosseous schwanomma involving the occipital bone and provides a brief overview of the literature.
Results:
The patient presented with a mass in the midline occipital region. Neuroimaging revealed a lytic lesion in the occipital bone with lack of enhancement on gadolinium MRI sequences. A gross total resection was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma.
Conclusion:
Intraosseous schwanomma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of skull vault lesions in the pediatric population and can be successfully managed with surgical excision.
