    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Neuropathology

    Background:

    • Craniopharyngiomas are rare tumors typically arising in the suprasellar region.
    • Intraventricular craniopharyngiomas, especially within the third ventricle, are exceptionally uncommon in adults.

    Observation:

    • An adult patient presented with headaches, symptoms of diabetes insipidus, and profound dementia.
    • Imaging studies revealed a midline suprasellar lesion.
    • Pneumoencephalography confirmed the craniopharyngioma's intraventricular location within the third ventricle.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the diagnostic challenges of intraventricular craniopharyngiomas.
    • Successful management involved a multimodal approach.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of craniopharyngioma presentation and location.
    • It underscores the importance of considering rare tumor locations in adult neurosurgical cases.
    • The findings may inform treatment strategies for similar rare intraventricular tumors.
