Abstract
This article describes a case of choroid plexus papilloma in a four-year-old male chow-chow that presented a seven-week-long history of chronic and progressive incoordination and neck pain. Neurologic examination disclosed progressive cerebellar and vestibular manifestations. Postmortem examination revealed a non-encapsulated asymmetric hemorrhagic mass situated within the fourth ventricle, which expanded towards the cerebellum and cranial spinal cord segments. The neoplasm was diagnosed as choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) by histopathological evaluation. The present report aims to describe the occurrence of CPP, which is uncommonly diagnosed, and to reaffirm the importance of including intracranial neoplasms in the differential diagnosis of young patients with neurological disorders.
