Abstract

In this case report a patient with a large intraventricular benign ependymoma is presented. The tumour was treated with stereotactically implanted Iodine-125 seeds and interstitial irradiation. Extension (diameter: 6.5 cm) and volume (112.5 ml) of the lesion caused the application of an unusually low dose (tumour surface dose: 40 Gy). The tumour shrank significantly within a few weeks. Follow-up at nearly 5 years shows the patient to be tumour free.
