Intraventricular meningiomas are rare tumors, comprising only 0.5% to 5% of all intracranial meningiomas. In this article, 8 cases of histopathologically proven intraventricular meningioma that were treated at the Ç ukurova University Neurosurgery Department are discussed. The radiologic, histologic, and clinical findings of intraventricular meningiomas and the surgical approach to lateral intraventricular meningiomas were reviewed retrospectively. Our 8 patients ranged in age from 18 to 65 years (mean = 44.6 years). Two patients were male and 6 were female, for a 1:3 male-to-female ratio. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the 7 tumors within the lateral ventricle and only 1 tumor within the third ventricle. All lateral ventricular tumors were located in the region of the trigone. Headache and hemiparesis were the most common presenting symptoms. Histologic studies revealed meningotheliomatous meningiomas in 5 patients, transitional meningioma in 2 patients, and anaplastic (malignant) meningioma in 1 patient. The superior parieto-occipital approach in 5 patients, posterior middle temporal gyrus approach in 2 patients, and posterior transcallosal approach in 1 patient were used for surgical therapy, and total resection was achieved in all patients. The overall neurologic outcome at follow-up (mean follow-up = 12 months, range: 1 month to 5 years) was excellent (no deficit) in 4 patients, good (some deficit but independent) in 2 patients, and poor (dependent) in 1 patient. One patient died after surgery. We conclude that intraventricular meningiomas are curable by complete surgical resection. This is possible with little neurologic morbidity when the neurosurgeon understands the surgical approaches available and the indications for those approaches.

“…These tumors arise from choroid plexus stromal cells or tela choroidea, and grow as intraventricular masses (7). The majority of intraventricular meningiomas are found in the trigone of the lateral ventricle; meningiomas of the fourth ventricle are very rare, accounting for 5% of intraventricular meningiomas (10) A. At T2-weighted axial imaging, the mass shows heterogeneous SI with dark SI portion suggestive of calcification in the periphery.…”

A 51-year-old woman presented with a fourth ventricle meningioma manifesting as a 2-week history of dizziness and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a round mass lesion in the fourth ventricle. Thallium-201 chloride single photon emission computed tomography ( 201 TlCl SPECT) showed high and rapid uptake on the early image and rapid washout on the delayed image. The preoperative diagnosis of meningioma could be established based on these findings. Total removal of the tumor was successfully performed. 201 TlCl SPECT is useful for the preoperative diagnosis of fourth ventricle meningioma combined with CT, MR imaging, and angiography.
