title: Cystic tumor in a 4 month old male.
abstract: Cystic choroid plexus tumor is a rare variant of choroid plexus papilloma (CPP), reported mostly in infants. It is associated with the development of acute hydrocephalus in many cases. The presence of atypical CPP has recently been recognized by the WHO as a grade II tumor with increased mitotic activity. We are reporting a case of a 3.5 month infant who presented with seizures and features of increased intracranial pressure. He was found to have cystic atypical choroid plexus papilloma.
