Dumbbell-Shaped Abducens Schwannoma: Case Report
Schwannomas of the abducens nerve are uncommon. Nineteen cases have been reported in the literature and are classified into two types: Type 1, in the cavernous sinus, and Type 2, in the prepontine area. However, a dumbbell-shaped type has not yet been reported. Here we report the first case of a dumbbell-shaped abducens schwannoma and classify this type into a new category (Type 3). A 36-year-o...

We reported a case of PNET presenting as a dumbbell-shaped tumor at the middle cranial fossa of skull base mimicking trigeminal schwannoma both clinically and radiologically. The patient underwent surgery on July 13, 2010, using a combination of subtemporal,...
متن کاملGiant recurrent dumbbell-shaped hypoglossal schwannoma in an elderly male: A case report.
Dumbbell-shaped hypoglossal Schwannomas of the 12th cranial nerve are extremely rare, and complete removal of these tumors is difficult, particularly in elderly patients with recurrent tumors. The present study reports the case of a 61-year-old male with a giant recurrent dumbbell-shaped hypoglossal schwannoma that arose extracranially. The recurrent tumor was completely removed in a one-stage ...
