Gangliogliomas are mixed tumors consisting of both glial elements and differentiated neurons. Although any part of the central nervous system can be affected, little is known about intraventricular gangliogliomas. A patient with a ganglioglioma is presented in the previously unreported location of the anterior third ventricle at the foramen of Monro, mimicking a colloid cyst. We review all other reported cases of intraventricular ganglioglioma (n=6) to characterize this entity. Intraventricular gangliogliomas typically affect younger patients with female predominance (male:female, 2:5; median age 25 years). Symptoms occur secondary to obstruction of physiological cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Complete surgical resection with re-establishment of cerebrospinal fluid drainage is the goal of treatment.
神经节胶质瘤是由神经胶质成分和分化的神经元组成的混合性肿瘤。尽管中枢神经系统的任何部位都可能受累，但关于脑室内神经节胶质瘤的了解却很少。本文报告了一例神经节胶质瘤患者，肿瘤位于以前未报告过的孟氏孔处的第三脑室前部，类似胶样囊肿。我们回顾了所有其他已报告的脑室内神经节胶质瘤病例（n = 6），以对该实体进行特征描述。脑室内神经节胶质瘤通常影响较年轻的患者，女性居多（男：女，2：5；中位年龄25岁）。症状是由于生理性脑脊液循环受阻继发产生的。治疗的目标是通过重建脑脊液引流进行完整的手术切除。
