Intraventricular craniopharyngioma: a case report

Abstract

Craniopharygiomas are rare and usually benign tumors that generally involve the anterior part of the third ventricle. Intraventricular Craniopharyngiomas (IVCP) are even more infrequent, accounting for 0.71 to 11%2 of all craniopharyngiomas and tend to be diagnosed in adults. In this report, we present a case of this brain neoplasm on a 36year-old woman with severe headache, vomiting and bilateral papilledema.
