Neurosurgical Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Schwannomas are very rare in the nose and paranasal sinuses; their presence both intra- and extracranially is still rarer. Here we present a case of nasoethmoid schwannoma with intracranial extension into anterior cranial fossa. Clinical, radiological, pathological and operative findings are discussed and the literature is reviewed. We recommend bifrontal craniotomy for removal of intracranial and nasoethmoid extensions of this tumor.
