Intraventricular ganglioglioma: a rare case report

We report a case of an intraventricular ganglioglioma in a 23-year-old male. The patient presented with a 3-day history of headache and vomiting. Preoperative brain imaging revealed a calcified lesion within the trigone of the right lateral ventricle, with irregular enhancement, causing entrapment o...

description We report a case of an intraventricular ganglioglioma in a 23-year-old male. The patient presented with a 3-day history of headache and vomiting. Preoperative brain imaging revealed a calcified lesion within the trigone of the right lateral ventricle, with irregular enhancement, causing entrapment of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. At surgery, the lesion was haemorrhagic, easily friable and exhibited evidence of a previous recent haemorrhage. Histological and immunohistochemical studies showed a ganglioglioma with World Health Organisation Grade 1 characteristics. Gangliogliomas of the central nervous system are uncommon, and rarely occur in the lateral ventricle.
