ABSTRACT
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that can occur intraventricularly, presenting diagnostic and management challenges. We describe a case of a 21-year-old male with no significant medical history who presented with intermittent headaches and vomiting, progressing to continuous symptoms. Neurological examination was unremarkable. Brain MRI revealed an isointense lesion in the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle, diagnosed as an SFT. Surgical excision via a transcortical approach was successful, followed by postoperative radiotherapy. This case highlights the complexities in diagnosing and treating intraventricular SFTs, emphasizing the need for comprehensive evaluation and multimodal management strategies.
