This child presented with macrocephaly, irritability, inability to roll over, and vomiting. He was found to have an enlarged head circumference, a full and tense fontanel, splayed sutures, and forced downward gaze. Imaging revealed severe ventriculomegaly and a brightly enhancing third ventricular lesion consistent with papilloma. Treatment planning included placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to treat hydrocephalus and to allow the child to grow prior to resection. Due to the vascular nature of these tumors and the age of this child, the tumor was embolized with a plan for eventual resection; however, embolization resulted in involution and total regression of the tumor. There is no residual disease at last follow-up of 16 months. In this specific scenario of a choroid plexus papilloma in an infant, when operative intervention may be technically difficult and associated with significant morbidity, embolization with close observation may be a valid treatment option. If used, the patient would need to be closely followed for evidence of residual or recurrent disease, which would require operative intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.9.peds1039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,1]],"date-time":"2010-12-01T15:00:47Z","timestamp":1291215647000},"page":"579-582","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Treatment of third ventricular choroid plexus papilloma in an infant with embolization alone"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Joshua J.","family":"Wind","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, The George Washington University;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Randy S.","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Walter Reed Army Medical Center;"},{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Washington Hospital Center; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William O.","family":"Bank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Washington Hospital Center; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John S.","family":"Myseros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurological Surgery, Children's National Medical Center, Washington, DC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-0060579","series-title":"Pediatr Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1159\/000121236","article-title":"Choroid plexus papilloma producing symptoms by secretion of cerebrospinal fluid","volume":"27","author":"Buxton","year":"1997"},{"key":"b2-0060579","series-title":"Childs Nerv Syst","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"252","DOI":"10.1007\/PL00013728","article-title":"Choroid plexus tumors in children and young adults: report of 16 consecutive cases","volume":"17","author":"Due-T\u00f8nnessen","year":"2001"},{"key":"b3-0060579","series-title":"Childs Nerv Syst","first-page":"485","article-title":"Hydrocephalus due to cerebrospinal fluid overproduction by bilateral choroid plexus papillomas","volume":"20","author":"Fujimura","year":"2004"},{"key":"b4-0060579","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1976.45.4.0409","article-title":"Ultrastructural evidence for CSF production by a choroid plexus papilloma","volume":"45","author":"Ghatak","year":"1976"},{"issue":"3 Suppl","key":"b5-0060579","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"199","article-title":"Malignant progression in choroid plexus papillomas","volume":"107","author":"Jeibmann","year":"2007"},{"key":"b6-0060579","series-title":"Childs Nerv Syst","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"138","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-004-0993-4","article-title":"Childhood choroid plexus papillomas: operative complications","volume":"21","author":"Kumar","year":"2005"},{"key":"b7-0060579","series-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01809335","article-title":"Choroid plexus tumours in children.
