Third Ventricular Chordoid Glioma - Case Report -

제 3 뇌실의 유삭교종 - 증 례 보 고 -

We have recently experienced a third ventricular tumor from a 63-year old woman who presented with paraparesis, voiding difficulty and general weakness. Histopathologic study of the tumor was compatible with recently reported and newly termed chordoid glioma. Clinical behavior of the reported tumors were mostly benign but because of its very close proximity to the hypothalamus, some of the subtotally removed tumors recurred or some of the patients died of postoperative complications. The presenting patient regained normal leg power after removal of the tumor followed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt and discharged on her own feet.
