Choroid plexus tumors are rare intracranial tumors which account for only 0.4-0.6%
of all brain tumors. These are intraventricular papillary neoplasms derived from choroid
plexus epithelium and range from choroid plexus papillomas (World Health Organisation
(WHO) grade I) to choroid plexus carcinomas (WHO grade III). It is an important albeit
rare cause of hydrocephalous. We present to you the case of a 1-year-old child who
presented with the signs and symptoms of hydrocephalous and was diagnosed as choroid
plexus papilloma on histopathology.
