Innervation of the brain, intracerebral Schwann cells and intracerebral and intraventricular schwannomas

Sui-To Wong et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2014 May.

Abstract

The cerebral vasculature and the choroid plexus are innervated by peripheral nerves. The anatomy of the vascular supply to the brain and its related perivascular nerves is reviewed. Intracerebral and intraventricular schwannomas most likely come from neoplastic transformation of Schwann cells investing the perivascular nerves and nerves within the choroid plexus.
