  • Title: Epidermoid tumor of the lateral ventricle.
    Author: Higashi K, Wakuta Y.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1976 Jun; 5(6):363-5. PubMed ID: 936061.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a case report of the successful removal of an epidermoid tumor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. The tumor was confined to the ventricular cavity and was not adherent or connected to the choroid plexus. Spilling of tumor material during surgery was presumed to have contributed to the development of a postoperative acute hydrocephalus, either by obstructing the cerebospinal fluid pathways or by causing an aseptic meningitis in conjunction with cholesterol in the ventricular fluid in the postoperative period.
