• Abstract Lateral ventricular neoplasms are rare, and account for 50% of all intraventricular tumors in adults and 25% in children. Although these neoplasms are easily detected with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), both techniques are relatively unspecific in identifying the type of tumor. However, few imaging patterns are specific for a particular pathological process and useful conclusions can be made from the morphological appearance of the lesion, its location and enhancement pattern. The aim of this article was to review and illustrate the CT and MRI findings of a wide spectrum of tumors of the lateral ventricle. We reviewed choroid plexus tumors, meningioma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, central neurocytoma, and less frequent lesion such as lymphoma and metastases.
