Abstract:
The authors report a case of symptomatic choroid plexus cyst, located in the trigone of the left lateral ventricle in a 18-year-old man who presented with headache and seizure attack. The cyst was diagnosed by magnetic resonance image(MRI), and was confirmed with surgery. The cyst had no communication with the ventricular system orsubarachnoid space. Total removal of cyst adhering to the choroid plexus was accomplished, with subsequent disappearance of the seizure and headache. A brief review of the literature is included.
