Oculomotor nerve schwannoma: case series and literature review

Oculomotor nerve schwannomas (ONS) are rare benign cranial nerve tumors. There are only a limited number of reports on this pathology in the literature, and there is currently no established management guidelines that aid providers in deciding on surgical versus non-surgical management. We assess the published literature on the topic to identify indications for treatment as well as outcome measures (e.g., local control rates, survival rates, and complication rates) that have been reported as associated with the various treatment modalities.
