✓ A rare case of schwannoma occurring in the parietal lobe of an 8-year-old boy has been described. While the precise origin of such an unusually situated schwannoma remains uncertain, it appears most likely that the origin was from ectopic or perivascular nerve plexus Schwann cells within the parietal lobe.

Giant Cell Astrocytoma

✓ A case is described of a subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma that occurred as a mural nodule within a cyst in the parietal lobe. The tumor recurred twice over a period of 47 years despite two extensive surgical resections. Neither the patient nor any of his children suffered tuberous sclerosis, a disease with which this type of astrocytoma is associated.

✓ This 10-year-old child suffered a hemorrhage into the right parietal lobe, the result of a ruptured arteriovenous angioma. From birth, the boy had a venous angioma of the mucous membrane of the cheek, lower lip, and hypoglossal area on the right side. The coexistence of these two vascular defects is most unusual, and venous angioma in early life may suggest the presence of cerebral angioma.
