Choroid plexus papilloma: magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and angiographic observations

Surg Neurol. 1987 May;27(5):466-8. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(87)90255-2.

Abstract

Choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial neoplasms that are generally benign in nature. They are seen in both children and adults and have a male preponderance. Magnetic resonance imaging, a noninvasive diagnostic tool, demonstrated the intraventricular location and the surrounding anatomy with striking clarity, more effectively than angiography and computed tomography scanning.
