Abstract:
:Choroid plexus xanthogranulomas are uncommon lesions that occur almost exclusively in adults; most of them constitute incidental autopsy findings. A case of symptomatic bilateral xanthogranulomas of choroid plexus in a 6 year-old girl with progressive visual loss is reported. Theories on the pathogenesis of this entity are reviewed.
