- Summary:
- The video describes the classic steps to perform an interhemispheric transcallosal approach to a giant choroid plexus papilloma of the lateral ventricle. A one-year-old girl was referred to our hospital from another country with an MRI diagnosis of giant tumor of the right lateral ventricle. MRI performed for progressive hypoactivity, head tilt and inability to crawl showed a large enhancing mass in the right lateral ventricle with active hydrocephalus. The tumor was located inside the right lateral ventricle, occluding both foramen of Monro due to significant mass effect with midline shift and apparent infiltration of the septum pellucidum. The two possible surgical options for this kind of tumor are the transcortical route and the interhemispheric transcallosal route. The interhemispheric transcallosal approach was mainly preferred because it is considered less invasive with fewer long term incidence of epilepsy, and it is considered the elective approach for tumors of the frontal horn and body of the lateral ventricle in our department. In this specific case the trajectory offered by the interhemispheric route was considered ideal to control the midline adhesion to the septum pellucidum. MRI showed total removal of the tumor, that histology confirmed as atypical choroid plexus papilloma. The patient did not develop any post-operative motor or memory deficit. MRI shows no residual tumor or regrowth at two-year follow up. The child follows her normal school activity without any external support and with excellent results.
