Abstract
AbstractEpidermoid tumors, which constitute 0.2 to 1.8% of primary intracranial neoplasms, occur in the third and fifth weeks of fetal development. Epidermoid tumors, which are known to occur most frequently in the cerebellopontine angle, are rarely located intraventricularly. A third ventricular location can be seen in 0.7% of cases. Epidermoid tumors are more common between the ages of 19 and 69, and are very rare in the pediatric period. In this report, we present a third ventricular epidermoid tumor in an 11 years old pediatric patient.
