Abstract
A case of choroid plexus papilloma of the III ventricle associated wit h hydrocephalus in an 1-month-old boy is reported. The tumor was remov ed after placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt; however, the histo logically mainly benign tumor grew very rapidly. The cause of this rap id growth may have been a drop in the intraventricular pressure after the shunting procedure.
