Resumen

Los meningiomas son tumores poco frecuentes en la infancia, pero, de presentarse en este grupo de edad, la localización intraventricular es más prevalente que en adultos.

Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 5 años que debutó clínicamente con síndrome de hipertensión intracraneal con parálisis del VI par izquierdo. En la tomografía computarizada y en las imágenes de resonancia magnética se detectó una masa bien delimitada localizada en el interior del ventrículo lateral derecho. En ambas pruebas diagnósticas la tumoración captaba contraste de forma intensa y homogénea. La lesión se abordó quirúrgicamente a través de la circunvolución temporal media y fue extirpada totalmente. El estudio anatomopatológico tipificó el tumor como meningioma atípico.

Summary

Meningiomas are infrequent tumours in infancy but when they appear in this age group, the intraventricular location is more frequent than in adults.

We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with intracranial hypertension and a VI nerve palsy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a tumoral lesion involving the right lateral ventricle with intense enhancement after contrast administration. It was completely resected through a mean temporal circunvolution route. Histological diagnosis was of atypical meningioma.
