Abstract
On the basis of clinical presentation and radiological appearances, schwannoma in unusual sites can easily be mistaken for meningiomas; immunochemistry plays an important role in differentiating them. Till date, to the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of schwannoma mimicking meningioma in parasagittal location.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
