First reported case in Brazil of intraventricular pilocytic astrocytoma in an adult patient with literature review

Key Points

To report and discuss a rare case of intraventricular pilocytic astrocytoma in an adult patient.
Detailed clinical evaluation
Radiological imaging techniques
Histopathological examination
Confirmed diagnosis of intraventricular pilocytic astrocytoma
Emphasized the rarity of occurrence in adults
Highlighted the need for inclusion in differential diagnosis of intraventricular tumors

Abstract

This case illustrates a rare intraventricular PA in an adult, confirmed through clinical, radiological, and histopathological integration. It emphasizes the importance of including PA in the differential diagnosis of intraventricular tumors in adults and may contribute to guiding recognition and management of rare ventricular tumors in this population.
