摘要

The abducens nerve schwannoma is one kind of rare intracranial tumor. We report an interesting case of abducens nerve schwannoma in the right cerebellopontine angle in a 68-year-old male patient presenting only vertigo and headache, without any symptom of abducens nerve palsy. This is the oldest patient with abducens nerve schwannoma to date. The patient received a craniectomy via suboccipital retrosigmoid approach and had total surgical excision.
