Choroid plexus tumors in infants.
Choroid plexus tumors continue to be a challenge in their diagnosis, treatment, and associated conditions that occur in perioperative management. Improved radiographic techniques have recently aided surgical planning, and recent developments in operating room technology are having an impact on the favorable outcome of these patients. Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics often add to the complexity of the perioperative management.
