Zusammenfassung:	Intracranial schwannomas not arising from a cranial nerve are very rare. Schwannomas of the dura are even rarer; in the literature, we found only two cases: a schwannoma of the falx and one of the torcula. We report a third case of a 9-year-old girl with a schwannoma of the tentorium cerebelli. The different theories concerning the origin of this tumor in this particular location are discussed.
