[A case of giant choroid plexus carcinoma in a child (author's transl)].
A 1-year-and 4-month-old girl with giant choroid plesux carcinoma was reported from a viewpoint of surgical treatment. As this tumor develops in the ventricular system, rapid deterioration of the general condition due to marked intracranial hypertention is seen especially in children. Therefore, the first aid of the surgical treatment is the control of the intracranial pressure by continuous ventricular drainage in an attempt to improve the general condition of the patient. Because the tumor is very bloody, applying of the temporary clip on the feeding artery such as the anterior choroidal artery should be recommended prior to the dissection of the tumor during surgery.
