Abstract

A rare case of a solitary schwannoma arising within parenchyma of the brain is reported. A 37–year old right-handed man presented with a 3- month history of progressive headaches, lethargy and vomiting. The initial diagnosis being considered was primary intracranial tumor, including high-grade astrocytoma, metastasis or lymphoma Histopathological examination revealed schwannoma. Cysts, calcification and mild to moderate peritumoral edema are common in intracerebral schwannomas. However, our case is atypical and has no cystic component, calcification or vascularization. The pathogenesis and neuroradiological findings of intraparenchymal schwannomas are discussed and we review the related literature.

Özet

Parankim içerisinden köken alıp, çok nadir görülen bir soliter şivannom olgusu sunuldu. 37 yaşında erkek hasta 3 aylık progresif artan baş ağrısı, sersemlik ve kusma nedeniyle başvurdu. İlk tanı yüksek dereceli astrositom, metastaz veya lenfoma şeklindeydi. Histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda şivannom tanısı kondu. İntraserebral şivannomlar kistik, kalsifiye ve hafiften orta dereceye kadar etrafı ödemli bir şekilde görülür. Halbuki bizim olgumuz atipik formda olup kist, kalsifikasyon ve vasküler komponent içermiyordu. İntraparankimal şivannomanın patogenezi ve nöroradyolojik bulguları tartışıldı ve ilgili literatür gözden geçirildi.
