Abstract
- Choroid plexus papilloma(CPP) is a rare intraventricular neoplasm occuring primarily in the lateral ventricle of children and the 4th ventricle of adults. The 3rd ventricle is a extremely rare site of CPP. The authors report a case of choroid plexus papilloma of the 3rd ventricle in a 2-month-old girl. Magnetic resonance inaging(MRI), a noninvasive diagnostic tool, demonstrated the intraventricular location, surrounding anayomy and feeding artery, more effectively than angiography and computed tomography scanning.
