Description
Intraventricular meningiomas are rare often histologically benign tumors arising most always from the trigonal region of the lateral ventricle. We report the first described case of a rapidly growing histologically benign intraventricular meningioma in a 68-year-old woman whose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) executed 1 year before surgical operation was negative for intracranial mass lesion.
