Choroid plexus papilloma with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea
Surgical Neurology
|December 1, 1984
Abstract:
Intermittent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea occurred in a 34-year-old male with a papilloma of the choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle. Surgical removal of the tumor preceded plastic repair of the frontonasal fistula. I report an observation 28 years after operation.
Insights
A rare choroid plexus papilloma caused intermittent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea in a 34-year-old male. Surgical tumor removal and fistula repair resulted in a positive 28-year outcome.
