Abstract: This series reports 40 cases of meningiomas of the lateral ventricle treated in France between 1995 and 2010. The mean age was 52 years. The revelation was incidental in 23% of cases. 36 patients underwent surgery with uneventful postoperative course in 75% of them. Visual field deficits were the most frequent sequelae. In six cases, recurrences occurred during the follow-up period. The relevant series of the literature were discussed in order to precise the therapeutic strategies and the outcome.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
