Chordoid glioma is a rare low grade tumor typically located in the third ventricle. Although a chordoid glioma can arise from ventricle with tumor cells having features of ependymal differentiation, intraventricular dissemination has not been reported. Here we report a case of a patient with third ventricular chordoid glioma and intraventricular dissemination in the lateral and fourth ventricle...

intraventricular tuberculoma (ivt) is extremely rare, ct and mri patterns have been only sparsely described.  herein, a case of intraventricular tuberculoma in a 40 year-old woman is reported.  at admission, the patient displayed malaise and was confused and deteriorated suddenly.  brain ct and mri findings were very similar to intraventricular meningioma.  the patient underwent surgery and tub...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor, but pure intraventricular location is extremely rare for GBM in neurosurgical practice. To our knowledge, there are only 19 reported cases to date. We present an additional case of intraventricular GBM with detailed clinical course, radiological and pathological findings.

Lateral intraventricular tumors are not frequently observed. Since these tumors grow linearly rather than exponentially, they grow gradually and thus do not cause mass effects and hydrocephalus. This study is the case report of a rare great volume left intraventricular epidermoid cyst rupture. The tumor was found to be associated with mass effect on neighboring structures and hydrocephalus.

Introduction. Though traditional microsurgical techniques are the gold standard for intraventricular tumor resection, the morbidity and invasiveness of microsurgical approaches to the ventricular system have galvanized interest in neuroendoscopic resection. We present a systematic review of the literature to provide a better understanding of the virtues and limitations of endoscopic tumor resec...

OBJECTIVE Malignant intraventricular meningiomas are very rare. To the best of our knowledge, only eleven cases have been reported thus far. Seven of them developed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metastases. We present herein the first case of a malignant intraventricular meningioma with extraneural metastases. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We report a 44 year-old-man with a history of progressive headach...

Intraventricular schwannomas are rare primary brain tumors, with fewer than 25 cases reported in the literature. Here, we present the case of a 20-year-old male patient with a 2 year history of blurry vision and dysesthesia involving his right occiput and upper neck. Imaging demonstrated a homogeneously enhancing mass located within the atrium of the right lateral ventricle with associated righ...
