Choroid plexus papilloma associated with developmental delay

Indian J Pediatr. 2004 Aug;71(8):763-6. doi: 10.1007/BF02730671.

Abstract

Choroid plexus papillomas are rare, benign tumors of neuroectodermal origin usually observed in the lateral ventricles of children. The usual presenting signs of choroid plexus papillomas are related to hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure. A child presented to us with clinical features of delayed milestones, which was later diagnosed as a case of choroid plexus papilloma with hydrocephalus. He underwent complete excision of the tumour with gradual recovery of milestones.
