The August 2002 COM. A 21-year-old male presented with a single episode of generalized tonic clonic seizures. Radiology revealed a cystic tumor with mural nodule suggestive of a pilocytic astrocytoma. However, histopathological examination and electron microscopy revealed features of an intracerebral schwannoma. Therefore, although rare, in an intracerebral cystic lesion with mural nodule, the possibility of an intracerebral schwannoma should be entertained. This is important because this is a benign tumor with favourable response to resection.
2002年8月病例。一名21岁男性出现单次全身性强直阵挛发作。放射学检查显示一个伴有壁结节的囊性肿瘤,提示为毛细胞型星形细胞瘤。然而,组织病理学检查和电子显微镜检查显示为脑内神经鞘瘤的特征。因此,尽管罕见,但对于伴有壁结节的脑内囊性病变,应考虑脑内神经鞘瘤的可能性。这很重要,因为这是一种对切除有良好反应的良性肿瘤。
