Choroid Plexus Papilloma of the Fourth Ventricle in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report

Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a rare intraventricular tumor. The common locations of the tumor vary based on the age of the patient. It usually occurs in the supratentorial region in children, however in adult patients, these tumors commonly present in the infratentorial region. We are presenting a rare case of a pediatric patient with a two month history of decreased activity and loss of interest in his surroundings and gait imbalance. He underwent a suboccipital craniotomy and excision of a CPP in the fourth ventricle. In conclusion, CCP should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of intracranial tumors when the clinical presentation and investigations are suggestive regardless of the location to avoid misdiagnosing it when it occurs in an uncommon location.
