“…Mass sizes are larger than adults at diagnosis; patients are more sensitive to intraoperative hypovolemia. (5,6,7). Meningiomas, which are not accompanied by dural enhancement, are different from adults and are common in children (13-27.7%).…”

Meningioma is the most common extra parenchymal brain tumor in adults, originating from arachnoid cap cells in the brain, and is very rare in childhood. As pediatric meningiomas are rare, they have different and challenging epidemiological, radiological, and histopathological features than adults. We aimed to share a very rare case of meningioma in a 7-year-old girl presenting with sudden vision loss and seizures in the light of the literature. ÖZET Menenjiyom, erişkinlerde beyindeki araknoid kapak hücrelerinden kaynaklanan en yaygın ekstra parankimal beyin tümörüdür ve çocukluk çağında çok nadirdir. Pediatrik menenjiyomlar nadir olduğu için yetişkinlere göre farklı epidemiyolojik, radyolojik ve histopatolojik özelliklere sahiptirler. Bu yazıda, ani görme kaybı ve nöbetler ile başvuran 7 yaşında bir kız çocuğunda nadir görülen bir menenjiyom olgusunu literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.

Pediatrics intraventricular meningiomas are rare poor prognosis tumors with reported incidence of 0.5-5% of all meningiomas. The presentation is in the form of raised ICP; therefore the definite diagnosis is based on neuroimaging studies and histopathology. These tumors pose a huge surgical challenge for neurosurgeons due to its deep location and risk of intraoperative massive blood loss. Here we describe the case of a 5-year-old boy presented with 2 months of progressive headaches associated with nausea and unsteadiness. Fundoscopy showed bilateral papilloedema. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed large solid intraventricular mass within the left lateral ventricle. On histology and immunohistochemistry, a diagnosis of intraventricular meningioma was made. Postoperatively the patient did not receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and he was doing well after 18 months follow-up and disease free on clinical and radiological examination.

“…Meningiomas arise from the meningeal coverings of the central nervous system. Pediatric meningiomas are infre-quent tumors accounting for 0.5% to 5% of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the pediatric age group, being the most common nonglial primary brain tumor 1 . The management of these tumors is challenging as they are usually large at presentation 2 .…”

Los meningiomas surgen de la cubierta meníngea del sistema nervioso central. Los meningiomas pediátricos son tumoresinfrecuentes que representan del 0,5% al 5% de los tumores del sistema nervioso central en edad pediátrica, siendo el tumor cerebral primario no glial más común. No hay evidencia confirmada de la patogenia de los meningiomas pediátricos. Por lo general, se localizan en la convexidad supra o infratentorial, intraventriculares y en la base del cráneo. La presentación clínica de los meningiomas pediátricos es poco específica y varía según su ubicación y tamaño. Los subtipos de meningiomas en la infancia son principalmente meningoteliales grado I de la OMS (32%). El tratamiento de elección es la resección completa del tumor (Simpson I) para prevenir la recurrencia y mejorar el pronóstico. Presentamos el caso de una niña de 9 años con un gran meningioma frontal, el informe de prevalencia en nuestra institución y una revisión de la literatura actual de esta patología.

Abstract: Intraventricular meningiomas are rare in the pediatric population. These tumors are often large in size and aggressive in behavior when they occur in children. The management of these tumors is a surgical challenge.
