Choroid plexus papilloma in the posterior third ventricle
Keywords:
choroid plexus tumors, hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgeryAbstract
A case of choroids plexus papilloma of the third ventricle in 3-year-old female child is reported. The patient presented with the symptoms of increasing intracranial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hydrocephalus related to a mass in the posterior third ventricle. A shunting procedure was performed before direct surgical approach. The surgical results are discussed, with review reported in literature. Microsurgical technique made possible a good exposure and successful complete removal of the tumor.
