Schwannomas are benign tumors, representing 8% of all intracranial tumors. Those located in acoustic, trigeminal and facial nerve, represent 90 and 95% approximately. Occasionally they localize in brain parenchyma. At present time, there are only 64 reported cases.
Case report: A 31 years old patient without previous history, consults with frontal headache and abnormal movements, initially diagnosed as seizures. In neuroimaging a left frontal intraparenchymal tumor is described.
Conclusions: Schwannomas are benign tumors unusually localized in brain parenchyma. Treatment consists in total or partial surgical resection, with histological confirmation, and radiotherapy treatment.
