[A symptomatic choroid plexus cyst in the lateral ventricle].
Choroid plexus cyst is generally small and a relatively common finding at autopsy. Huge and symptomatic cysts are rare. Few cases are reported in the literature. We report one case of symptomatic choroid plexus cyst of the right lateral ventricle in a six month baby who presented with epilepsy. Cerebral CT scan and MRI showed a large cyst in the right lateral ventricle compressing the adjacent structures. Total removal of the cyst has been performed by a parieto-temporal approach. The course was uneventful.
