title: [Intraventricular meningioma: case report in infancy].
abstract: Meningiomas are infrequent tumours in infancy but when they appear in this age group, the intraventricular location is more frequent than in adults. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with intracranial hypertension and a VI nerve palsy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a tumoral lesion involving the right lateral ventricle with intense enhancement after contrast administration. It was completely resected through a mean temporal circunvolution route. Histological diagnosis was of atypical meningioma.
