✦ Synopsis

In this study 6 patients who had meningioma of the lateral ventricle are reviewed. The incidence is 1.8% of cases of meningiomas in our series. Microsurgical techniques were employed in all patients. There was no death and the follow-up period was between 5 months and 10 years. No recurrence was seen. Although the origin of these tumors is still not known, DUNN and KERNOHAN note that the choroid plexus has the potential for the production of meningothelial, fibrous, or mixed patterns. Our pathological results confirmed this suggestion.

Cystic or necrotic hypodense areas are occasionally seen within meningiomas on CT scans. Two diffusely hypodense endotheliomatous meningiomas are reported. The low density was due to a microcystic structure, which caused a spongy appearance and consistency.
