BACKGROUND: @entity2846 are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all @entity5 in adults. However, they are relatively more common in childhood and constitute 1.5 to 4% of @entity5 . They are most often located in the lateral ventricle, followed by the fourth and third ventricles and, rarely, in the cerebellopontine angle. Bilateral lateral ventricle @entity2846 is very rare and only a few cases has been reported. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 3-year-old @entity1 was admitted to our hospital with a history of @entity146 and @entity391 . Neurological examination on admission was normal. A head computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed @entity5 in both lateral ventricles, @entity1276 and a left temporal @entity145 . The bilateral intraventricular mass enhanced densely and homogeneously. A presumptive diagnosis of @entity2846 was made. INTERPRETATION: The initial surgery was performed for removal of the lesion in the right lateral ventricle, and 20 days later removal of the left @entity5 was carried out. @entity5 was performed. @entity1276 was controlled by total @entity5 resection from both sides. The histology of these @entity5 was the same and revealed @entity2846 . Interpretation: Bilateral @entity2846 is extremely rare and distinct from diffuse villous @entity1184 and their surgical approaches are different from each other. Differential diagnosis should be made by MRI preoperatively. If bilateral @entity2846 is detected, total surgical resection should be performed. Total surgical @entity5 not only cures the @entity5 but also may lead to complete resolution of the @entity1276 .
