Zusammenfassung:Intracranial intraparenchymal Schwannomas are very rare. Twenty-eight cases of frontal intraparenchymal Schwannomas have been reported so far. These generally present with seizures, raised intracranial pressure, nasal stuffiness and epistaxis. We present a patient with frontal intraparenchymal Schwannoma who underwent frontal craniotomy and excision. At follow-up the patient is seizure free and is relieved of his symptoms.
