	Choroid Plexus Tumor - My Child Has - Children's Hospital Boston
		Choroid plexus tumors are rare, representing only 3 percent of pediatric brain tumors, but account for 10-20 percent of pediatric brain tumors that occur within the first year of life.
		Diagnostic procedures for a choroid plexus tumor, like other brain tumors, are necessary to determine the exact type of tumor and whether the tumor has spread.
		Choroid plexus papillomas are usually cured by surgical removal of the tumor.

		When the choroid plexus is removed, a cleft-like opening is left along the medial wall of the inferior cornu; this cleft constitutes the lower part of the choroidal fissure.
		The arteries of the plexus are: (a) the anterior choroidal, a branch of the internal carotid, which enters the plexus at the end of the inferior cornu; and (b) the posterior choroidal, one or two small branches of the posterior cerebral, which pass forward under the splenium.
		When the choroid plexus is pulled away, the continuity between its epithelial covering and the epithelial lining of the ventricle is severed, and a cleft-like space is produced.

	Choroid plexus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The choroid plexus is the area on the ventricles of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced by modified ependymal cells.
		Choroid plexus is present in all components of the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct and the occipital and frontal horns of the lateral ventricles.
		There is also choroid plexus on the fourth ventricle, on the section closest to the bottom half of the cerebellum.

	Choroid Plexus Cyst
		The choroid plexuses are structures in the ventricles (spaces) of the brain that produce the cerebrospinal fluid.
		Choroid plexus cysts are seen during 1% to 3% of all mid-trimester prenatal ultrasound examinations [1].
		Choroid plexus cysts are believed to be caused by abnormal folding of the epithelium lining of the choroid plexus which traps fluid and debris [2,3].

	BACKGROUND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Choroid plexus tumors are defined as epithelial tumors arising from the choroid plexus of the cerebral ventricles.
		Choroid plexus papilloma are composed of a simple or pseudo stratified layer of cuboidal to columnar cells resting upon a basement membrane overlying papillary, vascularized, connective tissue cords.

	choroid
		Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) was described by Guerard in 1832, and Perthes described the first successful surgical removal in 1919.
		While the choroid plexus epithelium originates from the primitive medullary epithelium and therefore is related embryologically to ependyma in both structure and function, it is very different from the ependymal cells.
		Patients with choroids plexus papillomas with a higher proliferation index or the presence of certain markers have been shown to have worse outcomes, generally observed as tumor recurrence.

	Choroid Plexus Tumors Information on Healthline
		Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare abnormal growths on a part of the brain called the choroid plexus.
		The choroid plexus is the structure in the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid that coats the brain and spinal cord.
		A CPP is a benign, slow-growing, wart-like tumor that tends to grow on the surface of the choroid plexus.

		Choroid plexus appears in 6th week gestation, initially in the roof of the 4th ventricle, then in the lateral ventricles, and finally in the 3rd ventricle.
		Subsequently, growth of the choroid relative to that of the ventricles slows, until the choroid plexus has assumed its adult appearance by the 20th week of gestation.
		Choroid Plexus Cysts are believed to derive from folding of the neuroepithelium with subsequent accumulation of CSF and debris.

		Apertures in the 4th ventricle (foramina of Magendi and Luschka), which develop during the 3rd month, permit the flow of CSF from within the ventricles to subarachnoid spaces surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

	Ask an Expert: Choroid plexus cysts
		A choroid plexus cyst is a fluid-filled structure surrounded by normal tissue in the choroid plexus of the lateral cerebral ventricle - this is an area of the brain.
		Choroid plexus cysts can be seen on ultrasound in the fetal brain during the end of the first trimester and into the second trimester of pregnancy - this can be normal.
		Thus, when choroid plexus cysts are seen during pregnancy on ultrasound, it does not automatically mean the baby will be stillborn or definitely have trisomy 18 or other abnormalities.

		The choroid plexus is associated with the ventricular lining of the body, trigone, and inferior horn of the lateral ventricles; the foramen of Monro; the roof of the third ventricle; and the posterior portion of the roof of the fourth ventricle.
		Choroid plexus carcinomas (see Image 3) are characterized by anaplastic features such as nuclear pleomorphism and hyperchromasia, increased mitotic activity, the occurrence of tumor giant cells, tumor necrosis, and frank invasion of the underlying brain parenchyma.
		Analysis of 75 pediatric cases of choroid plexus carcinomas by Fitzpatrick and colleagues (2002) also reveals the benefit of gross total tumor resection: 84% of patients with gross total resections were alive compared with 18% of patients with subtotal resections at approximately 2 years.

		The choroid plexus forms the CSF and actively regulates the concentration of molecules in the CSF.
		The preponderance of choroid plexus is distributed throughout the fourth ventricle near the base of the brain and in the lateral ventricles inside the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
		While the capillaries of the choroid plexus are fenestrated, non-continuous and have gaps between the capillary endothelial cells allowing the free-movement of small molecules, the adjacent choroidal epithelial cells form tight junctions preventing most macromolecules from effectively passing into the CSF from the blood (Brightman, 1968).

	The choroid plexus prevents build up of plaque related to Alzheimer's disease (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Researchers have discovered that an organ in the brain called the choroid plexus apparently plays a critical role in preventing the accumulation of a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease.
		The researchers found that the choroid plexus acts as a sort of "fishnet" that captures the protein, called beta-amyloid, and prevents it from building up in the cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and bathes the brain and spinal cord.
		The findings support the theory that the choroid plexus may possess a special enzyme that breaks beta-amyloids into smaller pieces, making it possible to soak up large quantities of the protein.
