Abstract

A 3-year-male child was operated for 4th ventricular choroid plexus carcinoma. He presented with features of raised intracranial pressure and midline posterior fossa syndrome. A total excision of tumor could be achieved as there was no parenchymal invasion or adherence with the walls of 4th ventricle. Cerebrospinal fluid pathway was reestablished and hydrocephalus resolved gradually. The child developed peritoneal and liver metastases at follow-up of 14-month without local recurrence. A choroid plexus carcinoma metastasizes to the liver and peritoneum.
