Resumen

El glioma cordoide del tercer ventrículo es una entidad tumoral muy infrecuente descrita por primera vez en 1998 por Brat y colaboradores; desde entonces se han descrito en la literatura tan sólo 39 casos. Presentamos un nuevo caso de glioma cordoide del tercer ventrículo en un paciente varón de 51 años, que fue tratado mediante resección quirúrgica completa, con buena evolución en el postoperatorio inmediato, pero que falleció súbitamente tres días después de la intervención por un probable embolismo pulmonar. Presentamos las características histológicas del tumor y realizamos una revisión de la literatura.

Summary

Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle is an infrequent brain tumour that was described for the first time by Brat et al. in 1998; since then, only 39 cases have been reported. We present a new case of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle in a 51-year-old-man that was treated with total surgical removal, with a good initial postoperative evolution. Sudden death, most likely due to a massive pulmonary embolism, occurred in the third postoperative day. We present the histological characteristics of the tumour and review the literature regarding this entity.
