Abstract

We describe the case of a 52 year old male presenting with subacute headache. Cranial imaging suggested haemorrhage into a parietal, partially intraventricular, space occupying lesion. The radiology was interpreted to be most consistent with a glioblastoma. The lesion was near totally resected. The histopathology was a WHO grade 1 schwannoma.

Keywords: Schwannoma; haemorrhage; intraventricular; tumour.
