Choroid plexus papilloma with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. 1984

A E Lamberts

Intermittent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea occurred in a 34-year-old male with a papilloma of the choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle. Surgical removal of the tumor preceded plastic repair of the frontonasal fistula. I report an observation 28 years after operation.

D002551	Cerebral Ventricle Neoplasms	Neoplasms located in the brain ventricles, including the two lateral, the third, and the fourth ventricle. Ventricular tumors may be primary (e.g., CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS and GLIOMA, SUBEPENDYMAL), metastasize from distant organs, or occur as extensions of locally invasive tumors from adjacent brain structures.

D004806	Ependymoma	Glioma derived from EPENDYMOGLIAL CELLS that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.
