ABSTRACT
We report the case of an atypical intraventricular meningioma in an 11-year-old girl. Subtotal removal of the tumor was not followed by adjunctive treatment, and 4 months after surgery, residual tumor was seen on MRI. Eight months later, MRI showed that it had disappeared spontaneously, and after 4.5 years of regular follow-up MRI, there has been no recurrence. Meningioma in children is known to have a better prognosis than in adults, and radiation therapy may be reserved for a recurrent tumor with unfavorable histology.
Key Words: Intraventricular meningioma; Childhood; Spontaneous regression
