A case of intracerebral schwannoma in an 11-year-old girl is presented. Of the small number of intracerebral schwannomas reported without association to a cranial nerve, the majority have occurred in children or young adults. Several possible etiologies for this tumor type are discussed. Based upon the distribution of ages at presentation and theories of the pathological origin of this tumor, the possibility that intracerebral schwannoma represents a developmental tumor is suggested.
本文报告了一例11岁女孩的脑内神经鞘瘤。在已报道的少数与颅神经无关的脑内神经鞘瘤病例中，大多数发生在儿童或年轻人身上。文中讨论了这种肿瘤类型的几种可能病因。根据发病年龄分布以及该肿瘤的病理起源理论，提示脑内神经鞘瘤可能是一种发育性肿瘤。
