Abstract:
The primary fourth ventricle meningiomas (FVMs) are rare fourth intraventricular tumors. Meningiomas account for approximately 13%-20% of all intracranial tumors; 0.5%-3% of meningiomas locate in the ventricle, whereas only 5% of meningiomas locate in the ventricle occur in the fourth ventricle. To date, the report about the FVMs is less than 80 cases all over the world, and most of the literatures about this disease are case reports. The clinical manifestations, imaging features, intraoperative findings and prognoses are lack of comprehensive understanding. In this paper, based on the FVMs case reports and research progress in recent years, we aim to summarize the clinical characteristics and treatment of FVMs to provide a beneficial reference for the diagnoses and treatments of FVMs.
