    Author: Erlich SA, Tymianski M, Kiehl TR.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 2009 Jun; 111(5):467-71. PubMed ID: 19200646.
    Abstract:
    Schwannomas of the abducens nerve are extremely uncommon tumors. Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with a 6th nerve palsy and was found to have a large tumor at the right side of her pons. Neuropathologic exam revealed a cellular schwannoma with a high proliferation index. The case is presented in its clinical, neurosurgical and neuropathologic aspects and the literature on 6th nerve schwannomas is reviewed.
