Summary

This study details an exceptional case of ganglioglioma, a rare brain tumor, found exclusively within the ventricles. The findings highlight the importance of considering ganglioglioma in intraventricular tumor diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neuropathology
  • Neuroradiology

Background:

  • Gangliogliomas are rare tumors typically found in the temporal lobe.
  • Intraventricular gangliogliomas are exceptionally uncommon, with few reported cases.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male presented with recurrent hemicranial headaches.
  • Imaging revealed a heterogeneous intraventricular tumor with microcysts in the right lateral ventricle.
  • Differential diagnoses included subependymoma and central neurocytoma based on imaging characteristics.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination confirmed the tumor as a ganglioglioma.
  • This case represents the first reported instance of a purely intraventricular ganglioglioma with comprehensive radiological documentation.
  • The tumor's location within the lateral ventricle body and frontal horn was confirmed.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of ganglioglioma locations within the central nervous system.
  • It underscores the necessity for thorough histopathological evaluation in diagnosing intraventricular tumors, even when imaging suggests other pathologies.
  • Radiologists and neurosurgeons should consider ganglioglioma in the differential diagnosis of intraventricular masses.
