case_images: Preoperative T1Gd and T2 sequence MRI. The axial section of MRI T1 sequence with gadolinium (A) and axial section of MRI T2 sequence (B) depict the intraventricular tumoral process (red arrows) with the associated significant obstructive hydrocephalus (blue arrows)

case_images: Intraoperative image of tumoral mass. The image shows the intraoperative aspect of intraventricular tumor as a whitish-gray tumor; bipolar cauterization can be seen used for vascularity within the tumoral mass

case_images: FIG2
case_images: Under the operating microscope, at the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle, a well-marked whitish-gray tumor was exposed (Figure 2).
case_images: Intraoperative image. Gross tumor resection was achieved; the image depicts the total removal of tumoral process

case_images: Total tumor resection was successful (Figure 3), and after the mass was removed, the ventricular surface was inspected for any adherent tumor fragments.
case_images: Postoperative CT scan. The axial section of the CT scan performed postoperatively highlights total tumor resection (red arrow) as well as an enlarged left lateral ventricle (blue arrow)

case_images: FIG4
case_images: Postoperatively, the patient presented a normal evolution, with significant neurological improvement; on CT scan, an enlarged left lateral ventricle without active hydrocephalus and no sign of tumor recurrence was seen (Figure 4).
case_images: Follow-up CT scan. The axial section of the CT scan at three-month follow-up (A) and axial section of the CT scan at six-month follow-up (B) both show no residual tumor or recurrence (red arrows) with a slightly enlarged left lateral ventricle

case_images: FIG5
case_images: In both control imaging, the CT aspect revealed a left frontal sequelae hypodensity corresponding to the operated tumor, an enlarged left lateral ventricle without active hydrocephalus, and no sign of tumor recurrence (Figure 5).
