Abstract

A 44-year old female patient, a house-wife, presented with the chief complaint of left frontal and parieto-occipital headache 15 days back, which was insidious in onset, continuous in nature, non-pulsatile/thunder clapping type, not associated with giddiness/loss of consciousness/seizures/visual disturbances during such episodes. [...]9 months follow-up, the patient had no fresh deficits or recurrence. [10] Malignant intracerebral nerve sheath tumours (MINST) arise from aberrant Schwann cells and other mesenchymal cells in the perivascular nerve plexuses around large blood vessels in the subarachnoid space, from adrenergic nerve fibres innervating cerebral arterioles, in the meningeal branches of trigeminal nerve, or from the pluripotent cells of neural crest origin.
