ABSTRACT
Strictly intraventricular craniopharyngiomas are a rare topographical variety of craniopharyngiomas. The correct diagnosis is important in order to define the surgical planning, as the surgical access is different for suprasellar tumors with secondary invasion of the third ventricle. An image diagnosis may be difficult, though suggestive patterns exist. The aim of the present case report and literature review is to add to the scarce literature on strictly intraventricular craniopharyngiomas, as well as to remind the neurosurgeon of this rare diagnosis so that the proper treatment is provided.
RESUMO
Craniofaringiomas puramente intraventriculares constituem uma rara variedade topográfica dos craniofaringiomas. O diagnóstico correto é fundamental para a definição do plano cirúrgico, posto que o acesso a este tipo de tumor difere dos tumores suprasselares com invasão secundária do terceiro ventrículo. A confirmação por neuroimagem pode ser difícil, embora existam características sugestivas. A presente descrição de caso, bem como a revisão de literatura, visa contribuir com a escassa literatura a respeito de craniofaringiomas puramente intraventriculares, além de remeter o neurocirurgião a este diagnóstico raro para a adoção da conduta correta de tratamento.
