RESUMO
Purpose: Subependymoma is a slow-growing benign brain neoplasm, classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a grade I tumor, which typically presents in middle-aged male adults. Case description: A case of Bruns syndrome and an intraventricular subependymoma in a 49-year-old patient who presented with intractable headache and vertigo is discussed in this paper. Imaging revealed a well-delimited cystic and solid mass near the lateral ventricle. Comment: Complete surgical excision of the tumor resulted in the restoration of normal cerebrospinal fluid pathway and resolution of clinical symptoms with no signs of tumor recurrence in the 4-year follow-up period.
