ABSTRACT
A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of loss of memory, disorientation, nausea, and urinary incontinence. Cerebral computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed a tumor with intratumoral hemorrhage affecting the corpus callosum and the septum pellucidum. A partial resection of the tumor was performed, but the patient died the next day from an episode of bleeding. Postmortem examination revealed a highly vascularized subependymoma with acute bleeding in the tumor and in the surrounding brain parenchyma. The importance of considering a highly vascularized subependymoma is noted when a tumor related to the ventricular system is diagnosed.
