Abstract
We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with a giant tumor of the lateral ventricle. The patient was operated upon. Histopathology showed the presence of an atypical meningioma. Postoperative imaging confirmed the complete tumor excision. Meningiomas although frequent in adults are rare in children. Intraventricular meningiomas are exceedingly rare. Complete surgical excision should be the goal of treatment and is usually associated with a favorable outcome.Entities:
