Intraventricular location of meningiomas is impressively higher in childhood and adolescence than in adult patients, respectively 15 to 22% versus 0.2 to 4%. However, location of this tumor within the third ventricle is extremely rare in the pediatric population, since, as far as we know, 17 cases have been reported so far. A case of meningioma of the third ventricle in a 9-year-old boy and its clinical and pathological finding are discussed.
