Bilateral carcinoma of the choroid plexus operated successfully

A case of bilateral carcinoma of the choroid plexus is reported. Bilateral carcinoma of the choroid plexus are very rare and the authors did not find in the literature a similar case operated sucessfully. The difficulties for dignosis are discussed. The possibility exists that in other cases with bilateral tumors a complete diagnosis is impossible if angiography is performed only in one side. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a bilateral angiographic study when a tumor of the choroid plexus is suspected. The surgical treatment and the mortality rate are also discussed.
