Abstract (2. Language): 
In the present article, a 6-years old male patient with intraventricular meningioma is reported. Clinical, radiological and pathological features together with treatment methods are discussed. Intraventricular meningiomas are quite rare pathologies. It should be differentiated from more common lesions like choroid plexus papillomas, subependymomas or astrocytomas. The goal of the treatment is complete surgical resection of the tumor which is directly related to better prognosis. There is no need for radiotherapy or other adjuvant treatments in histopathologically benign meningiomas.
