Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare intracranial neoplasms. Diagnosis involves characteristic imaging findings, with surgical excision as the primary treatment, supplemented by chemotherapy and radiation for carcinomas.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology

Context:

  • Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare neuroectodermal neoplasms, comprising <1% of intracranial tumors.
  • Predominantly affecting children under two years old, CPTs are histopathologically classified as papillomas or carcinomas.
  • Understanding CPTs is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Purpose:

  • To review the epidemiological, clinical, neuropathological, and neuroradiological features of choroid plexus tumors.
  • To outline current treatment strategies for CPTs, including surgical and adjuvant therapies.
  • To enhance the understanding of CPT presentation and management in both pediatric and adult populations.

Summary:

  • CPTs can manifest as intracranial hypertension, with headaches being common in adults.

  • MRI shows iso- to hypo-intensity on T2-weighted images with significant post-gadolinium enhancement.

    • Impact:

    • Accurate diagnosis and characterization of CPTs through advanced imaging techniques.
    • Optimizing surgical resection for improved patient outcomes.
    • Guiding adjuvant therapy decisions for choroid plexus carcinomas to improve prognosis.
