Methods The clinical data of 28 patients who were admitced to our department within the last 15 years and definitely diagnosed as choroid plexus papillomas were analyzed retrospectively. Results Choroid plexus papillomas of 28 patients, 22.5 years old on average, were located at the lateral ventricle in 15 cases,the fourth ventricle in 9 cases,the third ventricle in 3 cases and the cerebellopontine angle in 1 case.All the cases had undergone microsurgical treatment,among which 7 underwent preoperative extemal ventricular drainage; total resection was obtained in 24 cases and subtotal resection, in 4 cases; no surgical monality occurred; some cases developed postoperative complications:there was no evidence of tumor recurrence among the 18 cases followed up from 6 months to 5 vears.
