School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, and the Division of Neurosurgery We report a case of choroid plexus papilloma arising from the right lateral ventricle in a 4-month-old infant. Because of intermittent vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, the child was initially treated with intravenous rehydration, which aggravated the symptoms, and a bulging fontanel developed. Before a planned lumbar puncture, cranial ultrasound was performed, which disclosed a choroid plexus papilloma. The tumor was removed surgically, and the child made an uneventful recovery. We discuss the diagnostic value of cranial ultrasound compared to computed tomographic (CT) scan and angiography. (J Child Neurol 1986:1;53-55)
