Six cases of cavernous abducens nerve schwannoma have been reported. A new case of a 39 year old female with abducens nerve paresis, exophtalmos, chemosis and headache due to a 1,36 x 2,58 cm cystic right cavernous abducens nerve schwannoma is presented and discussed. ⋯ No deficits were added by surgery. After 30 months of follow up there is no evidence of relapse and only abducens nerve paresis persists.
