Abstract

Choroid plexus papillomas are only infrequently located in the third ventricle. Two infants with such lesions are presented and the diagnosis by computed tomography described. The transcallosal approach to the third ventricle was employed in both cases and led to successful excision. This approach is recommended for lesions in the anterior third ventricle in children, and the occurrence of subdural effusions as a complication is pointed out.

Intrinsic III ventricle craniopharyngioma.

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.

Osseous metastases from a benign intraventricular meningioma. Case report.

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.
