A rare case of oculomotor neurinoma that caused intratumoral hemorrhage is described. Initial CT inspection showed a homogenous, hypodense cyst in the left parasellar region. Following a severe headache, a CT scan demonstrated intratumoral hemorrhage and a niveau formation. The subtotal removal of this neurinoma was carried out and the oculomotor nerve function improved. In the literature, 28 cases of an oculomotor neurinoma have been reported, with only two that also presented intratumoral hemorrhage.
