  • Title: Foramen of Monro meningioma with atypical appearance: CT and conventional MR findings.
    Author: Hakyemez B, Erdogan C, Oruc E, Aker S, Aksoy K, Parlak M.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2007 Oct; 51 Spec No.():B3-5. PubMed ID: 17875150.
    Abstract:
    Intraventricular meningiomas have often been reported; however, literature reveals very few cases localized within foramen of Monro. Herein we report a 57-year-old woman admitted with obstructive hydrocephalus-related symptoms. Strikingly, the lesion was completely calcified in CT and had no marked solid component on MRI. The lesion was completely removed by surgical resection with a transfrontal intraventricular approach. The resected mass was histopathologically diagnosed as meningioma. The patient's symptoms resolved immediately after the operation.
