Abstract
Schwannomas usually arise from sensory nerves, and most often from the vestibular component of the acoustic nerve. Intrasellar and parasellar schwannomas are exceedingly rare. It is difficult to distinguish them from typical pituitary macroadenomas because of their clinical and radiological resemblance. In this report, we present an unusual case of an intrasellar schwannoma with a suprasellar extension that radiographically simulated a pituitary macroadenoma.
