Cerebral angiographic findings of lateral ventricular tumor

Abstract

Lateral ventricular tumor is very rare especially intraventricular oligodendroglioma. Angiographic diagnosis prior to surgery is important and necessary for planning the surgical approach. Angiograms in this case demonstrate signs of hydrocephalus and intraventricular mass. This mass is supplied partly by the lateral posterior choroidal artery which is a characteristic, typical of intraventricular tumor. Thus angiographic diagnosis can be made correctly before surgery.
