Pediatric meningiomas are uncommon. Those presenting in the third ventricle are rare; there are only 15 cases reported in the literature. We report an additional third ventricular meningioma in a 6-year-old boy. The tumor was resected via an anterior transcallosal interfornicial approach. Postoperatively, the patient exhibited a transient episode of mutism. Unlike previous reports, the pathological diagnosis of this lesion was an atypical meningioma. The presentation, management, pathological features, and postoperative course of our case are discussed and compared with previous reports.
小儿脑膜瘤并不常见。发生于第三脑室的小儿脑膜瘤则更为罕见；文献中仅报道过15例。我们报告了1例6岁男孩发生于第三脑室的脑膜瘤。该肿瘤通过经胼胝体前部经穹窿间入路切除。术后，患者出现了短暂的缄默发作。与既往报道不同，该病变的病理诊断为非典型脑膜瘤。本文讨论了该病例的临床表现、治疗、病理特征及术后病程，并与既往报道进行了比较。
