[Xanthogranuloma of the choroid plexus: a case report].
We report an unusual case of a 30-year-old man who presented blindness and raised intracranial pressure secondary to a huge lateral ventricle xanthogranuloma. Computed tomographic scanning showed a highly calcified hyperdense mass that did not enhance after contrast administration. The mass was subtotally resected via transcallosal approach. The pathogenesis of the choroid plexus xanthogranuloma is discussed.
