Silent Choroid Plexus Papilloma in a Child | Chapter 5 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 8

Children's choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle is the most typical location for choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs), benign slow-growing tumours. Contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CECT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) are the two techniques employed to diagnosis these solid tumours because of their high vascularity. The authors describe a 10-month-old male toddler who suffered a head injury 17 days earlier and had fever and strange eye movements. Brain ultrasonography revealed the hyperechoic mass of the right lateral ventricle. Using CECT and CEMRI, it was determined that the patient had a choroid plexus papilloma with gross hydrocephalus. After sustaining brain trauma, a quiet CPP attracted notice. Once the ventricular system was decompressed, it was advised to install a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for upcoming surgical care. Atypical CPP presentations could make a diagnosis more difficult, which could be detrimental to the patient. It's important to receive a diagnosis as soon as possible because CPPs are slow-growing tumours that can lead to a variety of problems if discovered later. Cross-sectional diagnostic modalities, such as CECT and CEMRI, are the most effective for making an early diagnosis.
