An extremely rare case of choroid plexus carcinoma in the third ventricle of an infant – Case report and review of the literature

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020
Background: Choroid plexus tumors are rare intraventricular tumors. Most of these tumors are benign choroid plexus papillomas. Choroid plexus carcinoma is the most malignant choroid plexus tumor and constitutes a small percentage of these tumors.

Targeting choroid plexus epithelium as a novel therapeutic strategy for hydrocephalus

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
The choroid plexus is a tissue located in the lateral ventricles of the brain and is composed mainly of choroid plexus epithelium cells. The main function is currently thought to be the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid and the regulation of its pH, and ...

Functional and Genetic Analysis of Choroid Plexus Development in Zebrafish

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The choroid plexus, an epithelial-based structure localized in the brain ventricle, is the major component of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. The choroid plexus produces the cerebrospinal fluid and regulates the components of the cerebrospinal ...

Choroid plexus tumours

British Journal of Cancer, 2002
Choroid plexus tumours are rare epithelial brain tumours and limited information is available regarding their biology and the best treatment. A meta-analysis was done to determine prognostic factors and the influence of various treatment modalities.

The choroid plexus water density. [PDF]

Magn Reson Med
Abstract Purpose To quantify normative ranges and circadian variability of the choroid plexus (ChP) water density in healthy adults. Methods Actigraphy assessments of circadian activity were performed for 5 days in healthy participants (n = 15; age = 28.5 ± 6.5 years) and subsequently participants underwent repeated, high spatial resolution proton ...

Psammoma bodies as signs of choroid plexus ageing: A morphometric analysis [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2017
Background/Aim. Psammoma bodies (PB) are regarded as benign consequences of ageing in choroid plexus stroma. The aim of this study was to assess the morphometric characteristics of psammoma bodies of all four choroid plexuses during the ageing process ...

Method for Primary Epithelial Cell Culture from the Rat Choroid Plexus

Bio-Protocol, 2020
The choroid plexus consists of a network of secretory epithelial cells localized throughout the lateral, third and fourth ventricles of the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is generated by the choroid plexus and released into the ventricular environment.

Choroid plexus in developmental and evolutionary perspective

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The blood-cerebrospinal fluid boundary is present at the level of epithelial cells of the choroid plexus. As one of the sources of the cerebrospinal fluid, the choroid plexus plays an important role during brain development and function.

The choroid plexus and its role in the pathogenesis of neurological infections

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2022
The choroid plexus is situated at an anatomically and functionally important interface within the ventricles of the brain, forming the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier that separates the periphery from the central nervous system.
