Intracranial schwannomas account for % 8 of all primary brain tumors. most of which are acoustic neuromas. Schwanomas within the neuraxis are rare. and are more common in an intramedullary than an intracerebral location. A review of the literature revealed thirteen cases of intracerebral schwannomas. one case of a brain stem schwannoma, and only two cases of schwannomas arising within the cerebellum.A rare case of a solitary schwannoma arising within the cerebellum in the absence of von Recklinghausen's disease is reported.
