TAPPING OF THE LATERAL VENTRICLES

bilateral choroid plexus papilloma of lateral ventricles

choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial tumors, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial tumors in adults. however, they are relatively more common in children and constitute 1.5 to 4% of childhood intracranial tumors. in children, choroid plexus papillomas are predominately located in the lateral ventricles, followed by the forth and third ventricles and, rarely, in the cerebell...

A Large Solitary Hemangioblastoma of the Lateral Ventricles: A Case Report and Literature Review

Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...

Planar measurements of foetal lateral ventricles.

To compare the linear dimensions (width) of the foetal atrium and occipital horns to their areas, 31 foetuses (15-24 weeks, C-R 12.5-23.5 mm) from spontaneous abortions were evaluated. Images of the axial sections of the brains were transferred to computer and Scion for Windows 98 software was used for image analysis. 11 brains appeared normal and 20 were abnormal (leukomalacia in 9 cases, peri...

Benign, Encapsulated Tumours in the Lateral Ventricles of the Brain

Primary tumors of the lateral ventricles of the brain.

BACKGROUND The lateral ventricles are located in the center of the brain. Each ventricle lies in contact with five critical neural structures: the caudate nucleus, the thalamus, the fornix, the corpus callosum, and the genu of internal capsule.The authors report their experience in primary tumors of the lateral ventricles of the brain by analysing the symptomatology,the surgical treatment, the ...
