Pineal cavernomas constitute <1% of all locations published in the literature, with a total of 26 cases reported, only 5 regarding the pediatric population until 2020. Overall annual hemorrhage rate is 2.4%. Symptoms are often due to hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nWe report a case of a 5-year-old child with visual disturbances, headache, and progressive neurologic deterioration. MR showed a lesion in the pineal region and triventricular hydrocephalus. She was submitted to endoscopic third ventriculostomy and total excision of the lesion by the infratentorial supracerebellar approach a few days later. Histopathological examination confirmed a pineal cavernous malformation. The patient returned to her normal life without any neurologic deficit and a normal development.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nThe ideal treatment is primary lesion removal; however, due to the infrequency and because it is a curable lesion, studies seeking to deepen the knowledge of this disease are considered relevant.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_231_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]],"date-time":"2020-09-18T06:29:15Z","timestamp":1600410555000},"page":"294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Hydrocephalus in children \u2013 A rare case of pineal cavernoma and literature review"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ricardo Malcata","family":"Nogueira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Centro Hospitalar Universitario Lisboa Central, R.
