We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with a giant tumor of the lateral ventricle. The patient was operated upon. Histopathology showed the presence of an atypical meningioma. Postoperative imaging confirmed the complete tumor excision. Meningiomas although frequent in adults are rare in children. Intraventricular meningiomas are exceedingly rare. Complete surgical excision should be the goal of treatment and is usually associated with a favorable outcome.
我们报告一例14岁患有侧脑室巨大肿瘤的男孩病例。该患者接受了手术。组织病理学显示为非典型脑膜瘤。术后影像学检查证实肿瘤已完全切除。脑膜瘤在成人中虽常见，但在儿童中罕见。脑室内脑膜瘤极为罕见。手术完全切除应作为治疗目标，且通常预后良好。
