“…Two approaches were advocated and utilized to resect third ventricle papillomas: the transcortical transventricular approach [17,28] and the interhemispheric transcallosal approach [13,36], Both approaches allow the surgeon to access the enlarged foramen of Monro. The papillomas frequently protrude into the lateral ven tricular cavity through the enlarged foramen.…”

Case descriptions of 17 patients with choroid plexus papillomas of neonates, infants and children are presented. Fourteen (82%) were diagnosed and treated during the first 24 months of life (5 were in the neonatal period). Choroid plexus papillomas were located in the lateral ventricle in 11 (bilateral in 1), the third ventricle in 4, both the lateral and third ventricle in 1 and the fourth ventricle in 1. All patients were evaluated by computed tomography. All tumors were excised and histologically verified. There were no surgical or case mortalities. Ten patients needed permanent shunting postoperatively. Follow-up observations show that 13 patients exhibit normal neurological and psychomotor development. Three are retarded and have seizure disorders. One is hemiparetic but normal otherwise. Aggressive surgical resection and appropriate management of associated hydrocephalus shoud be performed for the patients with choroid plexus papillomas.

“…Curi ously, papillomas often occur in the lateral ventricle during infancy and childhood as opposed to the fourth ventricular location more commonly observed during adulthood [1,11,20,26,35]. The third ventricle is an un common location for choroid plexus papillomas at any age [2,9,12,13,15,23].…”

“…12 According to many authors, CPPs localized in the third ventricle constitute a very rare subset of all CPPs. Eighty percent of third ventricular papillomas are located in the anterior region of the third ventricle, 6,8,11,24 and a posterior localization of CPPs in the third ventricle is very rare. 17 According to Galassi et al, 14% of choroid plexus tumors occur during the 1st year of life.…”

Currently, only a few reports describe the minimally invasive removal of choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) and, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no reports detail the resection of such a papilloma through an endoscopic approach in infants. The authors here describe the endoscopic removal of a third ventricle CPP in a child. A 5-month-old male infant presented with progressive macrocephaly, vomiting, and convulsions. A lesion in the posterior third ventricle was detected on brain MRI. Because of the patient's very young age, neuroendoscopy was used as the least invasive technique. The tumor was completely resected through a monoportal neuroendoscopic approach. Histologically, the tumor was classified as a WHO Grade I CPP. After surgery, the patient's condition improved, with no complications during his recovery. Ten-month follow-up neuroimaging revealed no evidence of tumor recurrence or progressive hydrocephaly. In view of the successful neuroendoscopic excision of this posterior third ventricle CPP, the authors believe that this method seems promising in the treatment of young children with intraventricular lesions.

“…This was confirmed by the extensive analysis of brain tumor incidence in children by Jänisch [3], who identified choroid plexus papilloma as the most common intracranial tumor in infants with an incidence of up to 24%. Jomaa and Grant [4] reported an incidence of 12%.…”

“…While they comprise less than 1% of all intracranial tumors in the general population [1, 2], they are one of the most common intracranial tumors in infants [3, 4]. The preferred localization of the choroid plexus papilloma is the lateral ventricle in children and the fourth ventricle in adults [5,6,7,8].…”

Choroid plexus papillomas are one of the most common tumors of the nervous system in infants. The most frequent early symptoms, megalocephalia and vomiting, caused by elevated intracranial pressure often lead to a diagnosis only at a critical clinical stage. This study describes a case of a 3-month-old infant with a choroid plexus papilloma measuring 7 × 8 × 6 cm originating in the right lateral ventricle. The infant underwent emergency surgery in an acutely deteriorated state, i.e., acute herniation symptoms with fixed and dilated pupils. Despite of the size of the tumor, the proximity to eloquent cortex, and clinically deteriorated state, the infant recovered completely.
