Choroid plexus papillomas in the third ventricle are rare. This study presents two infant cases diagnosed via computed tomography and successfully treated with a transcallosal approach, highlighting its efficacy for anterior third ventricle lesions in children.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Neuro-oncology
- Neuroradiology
Background:
- Choroid plexus papillomas are uncommon in the third ventricle.
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for infant outcomes.
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.
