Recurrent Lateral Ventricular Enterogenous Cyst: A Report of an Extreme Rare Case

Abstract EN

The patient was a 45-year-old man with a progressive headache.

Evaluation in detail revealed it as a case of left lateral ventricular space occupying lesion (SOL) resembling choroid plexus papilloma.

A left parietal craniotomy was done and the lesion was removed completely through intraparietal approach.

Surgical removal resulted in complete symptomatic relief.

Histopathology revealed that it was a case of the enterogenous cyst.

One year after surgery, the patient again experienced the same symptom and the images revealed recurrence of the lesion.

The patient has undergone 2nd surgery and histopathology was the same as before.

The patient was given radiotherapy and now he is completely relieved and well.

Although intracranial enterogenous cyst is not uncommon, intraventricular enterogenous cyst as well as recurrent intraventricular enterogenous cyst is a rare entity.
