A Case of Papilloma of the Choroid Plexus.

A girl of 7 years was admitted to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital under Dr. Ward's care on March 12th, 1932. The history was as follows. The child had recovered from measles 3 weeks previously, since when she had taken little interest in anybody. For a fortnight she had complained of headache and of cramp-like pain in the arms and legs, and for the same period nearly all food had been vomited. For 1 week control of the bladder and rectum had been lost. Examination of the heart, lungs and abdomen did not reveal any abnormality. Examination of the nervous system revealed a rational but very slow cerebration. There were no paralyses and the superficial and deep reflexes were normal in response. The pupils were dilated but were equal in size and reacted to light and accommodation. There was slight nuchal rigidity, and Kernig reactions were obtained on both sides. There were no sensory changes. Lumbar puncture was performed 3 times, but on no occasion did the cerebrospinal fluid show any departure from normal.
