title: Choroid plexus infarction in a child.
abstract: Infarction of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle is a rare condition, and was not previously described in a child. We describe an infarction of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle in a 10-year-old girl, diagnosed upon diffusion-weighted imaging. An infarction of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle suggests an embolic or occlusive stroke of the medial posterior choroidal artery.
