A 6-year-old girl presented with recurrent daily morning vomiting starting 1 week ago. The clinical examination showed a mild right-sided facial paresis and bilateral congestive papillae. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed an extensive heterogeneous temporoparietal tumor formation of the left side with intraventricular infiltration (Figs. 1, 2 and 3). Urgent surgical decompression was indicated. Temporofrontal craniotomy was performed with the patient under general anesthesia in the supine position under neuromonitoring. The brain stem was decompressed by partial temporal resection of the tumor. The tumor appeared soft, bled heavily upon resection and was difficult to separate from the surrounding brain tissue, finally we only performed a partial resection.After surgery, the child promptly woke up and was discharged home without focal neurological deficit on postoperative day 7.
