Choroid Plexus Papilloma

Choroid plexus papilloma is a rare and benign tumor that grows in the brain tissue called the choroid plexus, which lines the ventricles of the brain and produces cerebrospinal fluid. This tumor causes fluid to build up in the brain and must be removed to relieve the pressure. For rare tumors that require surgery, you can count on our teams in the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network.

Rare forms of cancer like this come with unique challenges that our specialists address with conventional and leading-edge treatments, all while keeping your safety in mind. Using 3D brain mapping, our surgeons pinpoint the tumor with incredible accuracy, and they can perform the entire surgery through a small tube called an endoscope to relieve the fluid buildup. This minimally invasive surgery doesn't require an incision through the skull or critical brain tissue, so more healthy tissue is preserved, and people generally have less pain and a smoother recovery than with traditional surgeries.
