Craniopharyngiomas are tumors that emerge from remnants of Rathke's pouch. Intraventricular craniopharyngiomas (IVCP) are uncommon and usually diagnosed in older patients. In this case report, we present a 36years old woman that started with holocranial headache, vomiting and bilateral papilledema. A cerebral angiotomography showed a mass inside the third ventricle. On Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a heterogeneous expansive lesion inside the third ventricle was found, in addition to hydrocephalus. The tumor was surgically removed and sent to pathology analysis that revealed an IVCP grade I.
