| Abstract |
Intraosseous schwanomma of the calvarium METHODS: This paper reports the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with an intraosseous schwanomma involving the occipital bone and provides a brief overview of the literature. The patient presented with a mass in the midline occipital region. Neuroimaging revealed a lytic lesion in the occipital bone with lack of enhancement on gadolinium MRI sequences. A gross total resection was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. Intraosseous schwanomma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of skull vault lesions in the pediatric population and can be successfully managed with surgical excision. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2018.
All research outputs
#13,903,875
of 23,047,237 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#721
of 2,806 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#175,731
of 327,927 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#14
of 72 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,047,237 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,806 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,927 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 72 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
