Abstract
Subependymomas are rare, slow-growing, benign intraventricular tumors which occur
commonly in the fourth or lateral ventricle. They usually occur in elderly men and
often are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. We report a case of a 6-year-old
girl with a symptomatic subependymoma in the third ventricle with MR imaging.
