[A case of choroid plexus angioma with subarachnoid hemorrhage--case report (author's transl)]

Authors report a case of choroid plexus angioma of lateral ventricle, in a 42 years old woman, initiated with an episode of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The localization of lesion, in the anterior horn and body of right lateral ventricle, producing primary intraventricular bleeding was revealed by pneumoencephalography, especially polytome pneumotomography. However, it was difficult to find by angiography. Patient was successfully removed angioma and showed good recovery. In review of the literatures, the choroid plexus angioma is found more frequently in children than adults, caused by primary intraventricular or subarachnoid hemorrhage and is ocasionally associated with other congenital anomalies. Otherwise, it is found incidentally at autopsy and show hydrocephalus or normal pressure hydrocephalus. Prognosis is excellent in operated case, but heavy mortality in non-operated case and combined with intraventricular hematoma.
