Abstract

Intramedullary schwanommas are rare, and most cases are reported in cervical region. Less than 20 dorsal intramedullary schwanommas have been reported till date in literature. This is due to their cell of origin, the Schwann cell, which is not normally found within the parenchyma of the brain and spinal cord; therefore it is not surprising that these lesions are rare. We report a rare solitary dorsal intramedullary schwanomma in a young adult patient who presented with paraplegia.

Resumo

Schwanommas intramedulares são raros, e a maioria dos casos são relatados na região cervical. Menos de 20 schwanommas intramedulares dorsais foram relatados até o momento na literatura. Isso se deve à sua célula de origem, a célula de Schwann, que normalmente não é encontrada dentro do parênquima do cérebro e da medula espinhal; portanto, não é surpreendente que essas lesões são raras. Nós relatamos um raro schwanomma intramedular dorsal solitário em um paciente adulto jovem que apresentou paraplegia.
