Intraventricular meninigiomas: a report of 25 cases

Abstract: In order to study the clinical characteristics of intraventricular meningiomas, we analyzed retrospectively 25 patients and reviewed the literature with regard to incidence, clinical manifestation, imaging features, preoperative diagnosis, surgical findings, and histopathological results. Intraventricular meningiomas are quite rare, but they represent an important differential diagnosis of intraventricular neoplasms. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging enable a correct diagnosis of intraventricul… Show more

“…Meningiomas are the second most common primary brain tumour in adults and account for 12 to 20% of all intracranial tumours, of which 2.5% are intraventricular 4,16,23,33 ; in our series intraventricular meningiomas accounted for 2,2% of intracranial meningiomas. The first intraventricular meningioma was reported in 1854 by Shaw 18,36 , who described a hard, fibrous tumour located in the ventricular trigone found at autopsy in a patient who had presented language disturbances and epilepsy.…”

“…Meningiomas of the lateral ventricles present mainly signs of increased intracranial pressure 2,23,24,31 . Symptoms and signs frequently include headache, disturbed mentation, motor and sensory deficits, seizures, visual deficits, and ataxia 2,14,23 . Some of the early symptoms are intermittent due to recurrent blocking of the CSF circulation 17 .…”

“…CT-scan meningiomas in the lateral ventricles are slightly hyperdense, with well-defined contours that may be smooth or irregular. In about 50% of cases, a thin ring of peritumoral hypodensity, attributable to white matter oedema, can be observed 2,23,28 . In some cases there may also be hypodense areas in the centre of the mass, which is indicative of tissue necrosis.…”
