Abstract
In the last ten years (1973-1983) we operated and followed up 6 patients with intraventricular meningiomas, of these 4 were children and 2 adults. In 3 of the children the meningiomas occupied the lateral ventricles and were attached to the choroid plexus and the medial brain structures. The fourth childhood tumor was localized in the posterior third of the third ventricle. The first three children were operated by the established procedure for ventricular tumors, while the fourth was subjected to the procedure of Cl. Lapras (Lyon, France) for meningiomas and other tumors in the posterior part of the third ventricle. All four children survived the procedure. In the follow-up period they showed normal mental and physical development.
