[Lateral ventricle choroid plexus papillomas in infants].
Choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial tumours occurring most frequently in children. In the period 1983-1988 in the neurosurgery department 10 infants were treated for choroid plexus papillomas. Their age was from 4 weeks to 12 months. The diagnosis was based on the results of ultrasonography and CT. Eight patients had shunts implanted for hydrocephalus. In most cases the histological examination demonstrated benign tumours. Radical removal of the lesion was done in 90% of cases, but, despite this, remote results were satisfactory in only 40% of cases.
