Abstract
A 25-year-old woman who had experienced brief periods of loss of consciousness and grand mal seizures was found to have a midline mass in the sellar region as evidenced by computer tomography and angiography. Preoperatively, it was thought to be a meningioma but histologically and ultrastructurally it turned out to be a Schwannoma. Since cranial nerves were not involved, clinically or morphologically, this nerve sheath tumour could have originated from Schwann cells of sensory, possibly trigeminal, nerves, vasomotor nerves, or ectopic Schwann cells
