Choroid plexus papillomas constitute less than 1% of brain tumors and are rare neuroepithelial tumors that predominantly affect the pediatric population. Approximately 70% of choroid plexus papillomas are diagnosed before 2 years of age. Choroid plexus papillomas are benign tumors that typically occur in the supratentorial compartment in children and the infratentorial compartment in adults. The typical clinical presentation is one of hydrocephalus or increased intracranial pressure. Diagnostic imaging is required to visualize the tumor and facilitate treatment planning; magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred diagnostic modality. Surgical resection is the primary therapeutic intervention and portends a favorable prognosis for these benign tumors. This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of choroid plexus papillomas and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving outcomes for patients with these benign intracranial lesions.
