Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are benign World Health Organization grade I tumors that comprise 2%-4% of all brain tumors among children and less than 1% of brain tumors in adults. Most adult cases occur in the fourth ventricle, with only 1 previous report describing an adult The purpose of this study was to evaluate adjuvant drug therapies combined with standard laser excision in the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Previous studies have presented conflicting data on the efficacy of various treatments, including interferon and isotretinoin. A
BACKGROUND
Patients with physical brain abnormalities have an increased risk of developing psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Here we describe patients who developed PNES after intracranial neurosurgery for indications other than the control of refractory epileptic seizures and explore
A 7-month-old infant had the infantile spasm syndrome, consisting of flexor and extensor spasms, developmental delay, and hypsarrhythmia. Corticotropin produced delay, and hypsarrhythmia. Corticotropin produced improvement in the clinical symptoms and reverted the generalized electroencephalographic
A 7-year-old spayed female English Cocker Spaniel was examined because of a 1-week history of lethargy, stumbling over objects and circling, and the presence of two tonic-clonic generalised seizures two days before presentation. The neurological signs suggested a lesion involving the right
BACKGROUND
Choroid plexus tumors (CPT) in the pediatric population are usually discovered in symptomatic patients often with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, with hydrocephalus as the most common presentation, along with seizures, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or focal neurological deficit.
The authors report the successful total removal of a rare intracranial tumor in the right lateral ventricle of a 15-year-old girl with epileptic seizures. Histopathological examination showed a benign tumor formed by mature cartilage and choroid plexus papilloma. From our review of the literature, a
We report a case of multiple parietal cavernous malformations in a thirteen year old female who received cranial irradiation following incomplete resection of a choroid plexus papilloma. The cavernous malformations, which developed within the prior parietal radiation ports, were diagnosed nine years
Choroid plexus tumors are relatively rare primary brain tumors that arise from the epithelial differentiated tissue, majority being well-differentiated papillomas. In adults, fourth ventricle and in children, lateral ventricles are the most common site of these tumors. We reported a case of choroid
A pigmented choroid plexus papilloma was found in the left lateral ventricle of a 15-year-old white boy with a 10-year history of seizures. Grossly the lesion appeared finely lobular, orangish brown, rubbery, gritty, and friable. Microscopic examination revealed delicate papillary formations
The authors report a case of choroid plexus papilloma in a girl with hypomelanosis of Ito, and they review the literature in brief. Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by cutaneous hypopigmented whorls, streaks, and patches along lines of Blaschko. Most patients
The incidence of choroid plexus papilloma is about 0.5% of all intracranial tumors, but they are only infrequently found in the third ventricle. This is a case report of choroid plexus papilloma of the third ventricle in an infant. A make child in his 7th month of age was admitted because of large
The incidence of choroid plexus papilloma is about 0.5% of all intracranial tumors, but choroid plexus papilloma in the third ventricle is rare. Fortuna reported 56 cases of choroid plexus papilloma of the third ventricle in 1979. Among them, the neoplasm of the third ventricle in the neonatal
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
Ten infants and children with choroid plexus papilloma of the III ventricle are presented. Hydrocephalus of various degrees was present in all patients, and seven patients had bilateral ventriculoperitoneal shunts prior to craniotomy. All patients were investigated with computed tomography and
