A clinical case report on intraventricular metastatic from a lung primary

Abstract

Intraventricular metastasis is very often carries a poor outcome. Here may be the case of a 55-year-old farmer presented to us with headache, vomiting and gradual deterioration in vision. Imaging studies revealed a heterogeneously enhancing lesion within the ventricle. Intraoperatively, highly vascular intraventricular lesion arising from Plexus Choroideus was found. Histopathology revealed metastatic lesion from epithelial metastasis. High-resolution computed tomography of the lung revealed a little lesion within the left apex of the lung. The patient recovered well and was referred for radiotherapy.
