Abstract

Craniopharyngioma accounts for 2.5-4 percent of all intracranialtumors. The tumor is more observed in the chiasmatic regionin adults and the intraventricular subtype is rare. We report anintraventricular craniopharyngioma in a 22-year-old woman presentedwith chronic headache. Magnetic Resonance Imagingshowed hyperintense large mass on T1-weighted images and hypointensemass on T2-weighted images in third ventricle withpressure effect on both lateral ventricles and foramen of Monro.The diagnosis of craniopharyngioma was confirmed throughhistopathological examination of the resected tumor after surgery.After a follow-up period of nine months, neither tumorrecurrence nor regrowth occurred. The early diagnosis of thisrelatively frequent tumor would help to prevent related sequelae.
