Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4

The intraventricular meningioma is a rare pathology, benign whose healing can be obtained by the surgical treatment. We report a case of meningioma of the lateral ventricle in a young girl of 15 years of age with a notion of headache evolving since 1 year with gradual decline of the hearing, complicated, 6 months before her admission of an exophthalmia. A clinical examination: Conscious patient, left hemiplegia, dysarthritique and deafness of left perception. Cerebral MRI makes it possible to objectify the presence of a voluminous right intraventricular tissue process. The operation under a microscope allowed complete removal of the tumor. The immediate postoperative sequences are marked by a partial recovery of the hearing. Pathologic examination of an intraventricular meningioma (WHO grade I fibroblast meningioma 2007).
