Recurrent atypical giant meningioma in the third ventricle of a child
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article reports the first case of recurrent atypical meningioma in the third ventricle of a 12-year-old boy. As tumor invasion into cerebral tissues signifies a higher recurrence rate, complete excision of the tumor under the microscope without injury to normal cerebral tissues is essential. Follow-up examinations must be conducted for a sufficient length of time to detect early recurrence and provide timely treatment.
