Case Discussion

Intraventricular meningioma represents around 1% of all meningiomas. It is commonly located in the atrium of lateral ventricle followed by the 3rd ventricle. It arises from the infolding of meningeal tissue during the formation of choroid plexus. It is the most common trigonal intraventricular mass in adulthood.
