Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome as an initial presentation in infantile choroid plexus papilloma: A case report

Abstract: We present an interesting report of a 5-month-old infant with epileptic spasms and developmental delay who presented with non-isolated ventriculomegaly in utero and whose brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed right ventricular choroid plexus papilloma (CPP). The epileptic spasms persisted even with the use of antiepileptic therapies but was apparently cured after the removal of a CPP.

“…In almost all CPP cases, increased intracranial pressure is accompanied by hydrocephalus with transependymal flow resulting from excessive fluid build-up, eventually leading to common symptoms, including headache, dizziness, nausea, anorexia, visual and hearing deterioration, abnormal walking pattern, feeling of agitation, and papilledema. 15 , 44 , 45 Less frequent clinical features include subarachnoid hemorrhage, occasionally due to tumor bleeding. 2…”

“…The commonest locations in children and adults of CPP is the atrium of the lateral ventricle and the fourth ventricle, respectively ( 4 , 5 ). Pathological entities situated in this locale commonly manifest with symptoms such as hemorrhage, seizures, visual impairments, and intracranial hypertension ( 6 ). Here, we treated a case of CPP arising from the trigone of the lateral ventricle and presenting with typical symptom of headache.…”
