| ABSTRACT |
|
Choroid-Plexus Papilloma is benign neoplastic growth arising from the ventricular choroids plexus, and has communicating hydrocephalus frequently. There has been significant surgical mortality and morbidity associated with resection of neonatal or infantile choroids plexus papillomas because these tumors are usually large and highly vascular, whereas the total volume of neonates is small. It's site of occurrence is usually lateral ventricle and rarely the 3rd or 4th ventricle in childhood. We present a case of lateral ventricle choroids plexus papilloma in an infant with a brief review of the literature. |
