Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a benign but rare central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm of the choroid plexus. The onset of symptoms is usually in the first decade and may occur at birth (i.e., congenital). It accounts for 0.4-0.6% of all brain tumors. Usually seen in patients who are young children. The object of this clinical case to highlight early surgical intervention, intensive and multidisciplinary care, and pharmaceutical prescriptions can enhance the patient's condition and quality of life. We herein report a rare presentation of CPP in a 6-year-old Sudanese female child with seizures. Who suffered from obstructive hydrocephalus with lateral ventricular choroid plexus papilloma. The patient underwent resection at the age of 6 months in our center's neurosurgery department. Intensive and multidisciplinary follow-up managed to maintain positive outcome and better quality of life in a relatively benign neoplasm. In spite of a wide range of therapeutic options for the management of CPP described in the literature, studies demonstrated that patients with CPP alone and underwent a surgical procedure can live independently as adults and work full-time with uncommon recurrences.
