Abstract:
Choroid Plexus Papillomas (CPPs) are congenital intracranial tumors of neuro-ectodermal origin. Choroid plexus neoplasms constitute about 0.5% of all intracranial neoplasms.Majority are found in lateral ventricles. Most of these neoplasms are benign papillomas, while one-fifth are malignant carcinomas. The present communication describes a rare case of a choroid plexus papilloma leading to CSF ascites following Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt.
