Persistent communicating @entity1276 in adult XXXX @entity1 : a possible therapeutic role for @entity2239 .

UNASSIGNED: @entity2967 ( @entity2967 ) is a benign intraventricular @entity5 , usually located near the foramen of Monro. It is almost always associated with @entity2916 ( @entity2916 ). SGCTs may obstruct cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways. Rarely, they may secrete a protein-rich exudate, causing communicating @entity1276 . Surgery is indicated for symptomatic lesions or growing asymptomatic lesions. The operative approach to @entity2967 has shifted from simple shunt placement to a more aggressive approach, leading to early attempts at gross total resection. Recently, the @entity3470 inhibitor @entity2239 has been approved for treating @entity2967 . In this article, we present two cases of recurrent shunt malfunctions in adult @entity2916 @entity1 with protein-secreting SGCTs. We describe the complexity of treating such @entity1 with an emphasis on the role @entity3470 inhibitors may have in their management. We also review the literature on surgical management of @entity2967 -related @entity1276 .
