Ventricular neoplasms can be grouped together as a single disease entity because of the behavior of some of the tumors and similarities between the access of therapy and procedure of operation. In our series, the incidence of various ventricular neoplasms (shown in decreasing order) were metastasis, astrocytoma, ependymoma, meningioma, choroid plexus papillomas and oligodendroglioma. The intraventricular tumors included some metastasis involved by hematogenous spread, meningioms, and choroid plexus papilloma while paraventricular tumors included some of the systemic myeloproliferative disorders with ventricular seeding along with tumors with glial origins. Most of the patients with symptoms of intraventricular tumors also had symptoms related to increased intracranial pressure while those with paraventricular neoplasm presented symptoms related to focal signs or symptoms. CT scan with enhancement could provide a very good image modality except in some involvements in the posterior cranial fossa.
由于某些肿瘤的行为以及治疗途径和手术操作之间的相似性，心室肿瘤可归为单一疾病实体。在我们的系列研究中，各种心室肿瘤的发生率（从高到低排列）依次为转移瘤、星形细胞瘤、室管膜瘤、脑膜瘤、脉络丛乳头状瘤和少突胶质细胞瘤。脑室内肿瘤包括一些通过血行播散的转移瘤、脑膜瘤和脉络丛乳头状瘤，而脑室旁肿瘤包括一些伴有脑室播散的系统性骨髓增殖性疾病以及起源于神经胶质的肿瘤。大多数有脑室内肿瘤症状的患者也有与颅内压升高相关的症状，而有脑室旁肿瘤的患者则表现出与局灶性体征或症状相关的症状。增强CT扫描可以提供很好的成像方式，后颅窝的某些病变除外。
