Multi-staged endoscope-assisted microsurgical resection of a triventricular choroid plexus carcinoma [Triventriküler koroid pleksus karsinomunun çok aşamali{dotless} endoskopik asiste mikrocerrahi rezeksiyonu]

Choroid plexus carcinoma is a malignant intraventricular tumor of childhood with poor prognosis. complete surgical resection is the most important prognostic factor. unfortunately,complete resection of the cpc is a challenge for neurosurgeons due to extreme vascularity of the tumor,its large size,and its tendency to make invasion to the adjacent brain parenchyma. here we present a 24-month-old boy with a triventricular cpc,to whom multi-staged endoscope-assisted microsurgical technique was performed. complete resection was achieved. postoperatively patient was improved neurologically and discharged home in stable condition. it is shown that multi-staged endoscope-assisted microsurgical technique definitely help neurosurgeons in dealing with this challenging tumors.
