Abstract: A 3-year-male child was operated for 4th ventricular choroid plexus
carcinoma. He presented with features of raised intracranial pressure and
midline posterior fossa syndrome. A total excision of tumor could be achieved
as there was no parenchymal invasion or adherence with the walls of 4th
ventricle. Cerebrospinal fluid pathway was reestablished and hydrocephalus
resolved gradually. The child developed peritoneal and liver metastases at
follow-up of 14-month without local recurrence. A choroid plexus carcinoma
metastasizes to the liver and peritoneum.
