    Notes: Summary ¶ The authors present the clinical and pathological features of a malignant triton tumour (MTT) in the lateral ventricle with neurofibromatosis type 1. A 57 year-old man presented with disorientation and memory disturbance. A Computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed an enhancing lesion in the left lateral ventricle. A parieto-occipital transcallosal approach was taken and resection of the lesion was performed. The operative findings suggested that the tumour arose from the perivascular nerves. The final pathological diagnosis was a MTT. This is the first case of an intraventricular MTT. Aggressive treatment including radical surgery combined with radiochemotherapy is recommended for a MTT of the central nervous system.

    Notes: Abstract Schwannomas acount for 8.5% of all intracranial tumours; more than 90% arise from the 8th cranial nerve. Only 42 cases of schwannoma of the hypoglossal nerve have been reported. A 59 year-old woman developed right hemiatrophy of the tongue, clearly demonstrated on MRI, as was a small hypoglossal schwannowa. High signal was seen in the atrophic side of the tongue on both T1- and T2-weighted dimages, as described in the literature.
