ABSTRACT

Choroidal plexus tumors are rare and comprise 0.4 - 0.6% of brain tumors. We present the case of a 63-year-old male patient with a one-month history of behavioral alterations, decreased memory, holocranial headache and temporospatial disorientation. The diagnostic approach culminated with the diagnosis of choroidal plexus carcinoma..
