Treatment of choroid plexus papillomas in children: a brief analysis of twenty years' experience

Abstract

This is a brief report of 17 histologically verified choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs). The radiological evaluation and surgical treatment are outlined. The results indicate that the surgical approach was not optimal. Radiation therapy decreasing the vascularity of tissue-proven CPPs and therefore aiding the operative removal is illustrated. The limited experience with postoperative irradiation is presented. The computed tomography of this lesion is discussed.
