Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Choroid plexus tumors are rare intracranial tumors which account for only 0.4-0.6 % of all brain tumors. These are intraventricular papillary neoplasm derived from choroid plexus epithelium and range from choroid plexus papilloma[World Health Organisation(WHO) grade I] to choroid plexus carcinoma (WHO grade III). Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a rare, benign neoplasm, relatively more common in childhood. Sudden deaths have been reported, but are very unusual. Here we present a case of 21 year old male, brought for medico-legal autopsy examination on grounds of sudden death. He was reported to have headaches over a long period of time. On autopsy examination, diffuse subarachnoid haemorrhage was seen over bilateral cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum extending up to base of brain. On gross examination the right lateral ventricular cavity showed a friable grey brown lesion,revealing grey brown cut surface. On histopathological examination, it was found to be a choroid plexus papilloma grade I. Both cerebral hemisphere revealed marked congestion and sub-arachnoid haemorrhageThe present case reveals an unusual cause for sudden death in an adult male. The pathology is rare and a suspicion for this pathology in the adult male was not expected. So here we present a rare case with unusual presentation/location in an adult with review of literature.
