[Papilloma of the choroid plexus of the 3d ventricle. Report of a case and review of the literature].

It's rare for CPP to fill the III ventricule. Up to date, 24 cases surgically removed have been reported. In this report, we present a 1,5 year old boy who administered because of severe cachexia and reactive coma. Ct scan revealed dilatation in lateral ventricles and a mass totally filling the III ventricle. The mass has been totally excised through foramen Monro by right frontoparietal craniotomy and transcortical transventricular surgical approach. While a post-operative recovery was being observed, the patient died in the 30 the day because of bronchopneumonia. The treatment of III ventricle CPP as all the other CPP, must be total resection. For this reason, preoperative CT scan carries a great value about giving information of the nature of the tumor.
