Papillary glioneuronal tumor presenting with low-pressure hydrocephalus from intraventricular spread: Case Report

Papillary glioneuronal tumors (PGNTs) are rare, benign neoplasms that are typically solid or solid/cystic, well-circumscribed, parenchymal, solitary, and calcify. While intraventricular location, tumoral hemorrhage, and/or high-pressure obstructive hydrocephalus have been described, presentation with multifocal disease and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH)-like symptoms has not. We describe the novel presentation of a glioneuronal tumor distinctly presenting with NPH-like symptoms from intraventricular spread and the associated management.
