Summary

Intraventricular schwannoma is an exceedingly rare tumour with only 6 cases described in the literature.

One case of a cystic intraventricular schwannoma operated on at our Institution is analized and the other cases reported in the literature are reviewed.

Complete removal was achieved and no reccurrence was noted after a follow-up period of 10 years.

Intraventricular schwannomas are rare tumours that are amenable to complete surgical removal, having a good prognosis without the need of adjuvant therapy.
