Abstract
Background
Schwannomas arise from nerve sheaths of cranial, peripheral, and spinal nerve or nerve roots. Most intracranial schwannomas arise from the cranial nerves, predominantly the vestibulocochlear nerve. In addition to cranial nerve schwannomas, intraparenchymal schwannomas of the brain and intramedullary schwannomas of the spinal cord are extremely rare.
Case Report
In our case we describe the imaging findings of three diverse cases of schwannoma at different locations and unique presentations with acute neurological symptoms in the pediatric age group.
Conclusion
Schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of intracranial or intraspinal intramedullary space-occupying lesions in pediatric patients.
