Endoscopic resection of an intraventricular dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor of the septum pellucidum.
Tumors located in the region of the foramen of Monro often present with signs and symptoms of obstructive hydrocephalus. Various types of lesions occur in this location. We describe a case of a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor of the septum pellucidum presenting with obstructive hydrocephalus and its successful endoscopic excision. The surgical considerations and pathologic findings are discussed.
