描述了一名8个月大的女婴，患有第四脑室内的脉络丛癌。由于年龄小，患者最初接受联合化疗，但在开始治疗后13个月出现局部肿瘤复发。检测脑脊液肿瘤种植的分期研究结果为阴性，患者接受了后颅窝放疗。虽然原发性肿瘤在放射治疗后消退，但随后发展为整个脊髓蛛网膜下腔的广泛疾病。脉络丛癌有一个显著的倾向，通过脑脊液转移，和治疗的整个神经轴应强烈考虑这种疾病的患者。
An 8-month-old female infant with choroid plexus carcinoma presenting in the fourth ventricle is described. The patient was initially treated with combination chemotherapy due to her young age, but developed local tumor recurrence 13 months after beginning treatment. Staging studies to detect tumor seeding of the cerebrospinal fluid were negative, and the patient received posterior fossa radiotherapy. Although the primary tumor regressed with radiation treatment, widespread disease throughout the spinal subarachnoid space subsequently developed. Choroid plexus carcinoma has a significant tendency to metastasize through the cerebrospinal fluid, and treatment of the entire neuraxis should be strongly considered for patients with this disease.
