Resumen

Se presenta el caso de un adulto joven con cuadro clínico de afectación neurológica focal producido por una tumoración intraventricular izquierda no invasiva. Las técnicas de neuroimagen habituales no pudieron determinar con exactitud el tipo de tumor. La plexogammagrafía diagnosticó la neoplasia como tumor de plexos coroideos, confirmándose por la anatomía patológica en el postoperatorio. Además, la gammagrafía de plexos coroideos en controles sucesivos determinó la presencia de recidiva tumoral confirmándose tras la reintervención el diagnóstico de carcinoma de plexos coroideos. Proponemos la plexogammagrafía como técnica selectiva muy útil ante la sospecha de neoplasia de plexos coroideos.

Summary

We present the case of a young adult with focal neurological symptoms caused by a non-invasive left intraventricular tumor. Conventional neuroimaging techniques could not determine the type of tumor. Plexoscintigraphy suggested the growing to be a choroid plexus tumor, which was confirmed by pathology after the operation. Moreover the plexus scintigraphy identified a tumor relapse at the follow-up and after a new surgical operation the diagnosis of a choroid plexus carcinoma was confirmed. We propose the use of plexoscintigraphy as an useful and selective technique for the diagnosis of choroid plexus neoplasms.
