Craniopharyngiomas are tumors that emerge from remnants of Rathke's pouch. Intraventricular craniopharyngiomas (IVCP) are uncommon and usually diagnosed in older patients. In this case report, we present a 36years old woman that started with holocranial headache, vomiting and bilateral papilledema. A cerebral angiotomography showed a mass inside the third ventricle. On Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a heterogeneous expansive lesion inside the third ventricle was found, in addition to hydrocephalus. The tumor was surgically removed and sent to pathology analysis that revealed an IVCP grade I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
