Ventricular Tumours

Intraventricular tumors (also known as ventricular tumors) are generally benign tumors or lesions found within the ventricles of the brain. These tumors may arise from a variety of cells in the region and often obstruct the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and cause a buildup of pressure in the skull.

Intraventricular tumors and lesions include:

• Colloid cysts
• Subependymomas
• Central neurocytomas
• Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA) 
• Choroid plexus tumors
• Meningiomas
