Abstract
The Intraventricular Schwannoma is a rare benign intracranial tumor. Its exact origin is unknown. We report a case of 33 years old male, presented with focal seizures involving the right Upper Limb with headache and projectile vomiting. He was evaluated and diagnosed to have a Intraventricular tumor involving the Left Lateral ventricle with hydrocephalus. He underwent Right VP Shunt and subsequently, the definitive surgery was done and the lesion was excised completely. Postoperatively, he had improved. Histopathologically, the tumor showed the features of Schwannoma. Since the tumor was excised completely, no further treatment is necessary..
