Choroid plexus papillomas: an immunohistochemical study with particular reference to the coexpression of prealbumin.

abstract：:Hydrocephalus without ventriculomegaly and pseudotumor cerebri may present special problems in its treatment. Lumboperitoneal shunting, although frequently effective, is not successful in all cases. A lumbar subarachnoid to venous shunt is described as an alternative to lumboperitoneal shunting.
