ABSTRACT
Intrathird ventricular tumors that mainly occupy the ventricle cavity without extending to the neighbouring structures are rare. These tumors are developed from the choroids plexus, tela, ependyma, subjacent neuroglia and embryonic cell rest. The authors experienced 11 cases of rare intrathird ventricular tumors during the past 10 years. During the same period, number of surgically proven brain tumors were 990 and intrathird ventricular tumors comprised 1.1%. These are two cases of choroids plexus papillomas, three craniopharyngiomas, two germ cell tumors, one meningioma, one glioependymal cyst, one ependymoma, one astrocytoma. Suprasellar craniopharyngiomas, thalamic gliomas, optic and hypothalamic gliomas were excluded. The age distribution was from 6 years old to 59 years old. The clinical manifestation was characteristic in that they usually had the sudden intermittent headache without specific localizing signs. Surgical approach to this area is by transcallosal or transcortical approach. Surgical total removal was quite feasible by either approach and outcome was rather favorable.
Key Words: Third ventricle tumor; Choroid plexus papilloma; Craniopharyngioma; Meningioma; Germ cell tumor
