Abstract
- In children, primary tumors of the third ventricle are uncommon. The majority of the lesion were infiltrating astrocytoma of the anterior portion of the third ventricle. Tumors within the third ventricle were benign, encapsulated, and respectable with good prognosis. But most surgerns have considered this tumors to be inoperable;accordingly shunting procedures followed by radiotherapy has been the treatment of choice. We recently experienced a case of astrocytoma which entirely filled the third ventricle with hemorrhage and reviewed the literatures.
