A case of intrinsic III ventricle craniopharyngioma in an 11-year-old girl is presented. Only five cases in children have previously been reported in detail. The intraventricular location of a craniopharyngioma originates from ectopic remnants and causes intracranial hypertension without hormonal or neurological disorders. The tumor was safely removed by the transcallosal approach, and we confirmed that the floor of the III ventricle was intact.
The authors report a case of a 6 month-old male presenting with increasing head circumference and a large benign intraventricular meningioma which was grossly removed at the initial surgery. Twenty-four months later, the patient returned with subcutaneous and osseous metastatic lesions at the site of the previous craniotomy, revealing the same histology as the original tumour. The presentation, pathology and management of this unique case are discussed.
