title: Endoscopic resection of an intraventricular dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor of the septum pellucidum.
abstract: 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.
