Striking a Chord? Not a Typical Low-Grade Glioma

A 48-year-old male presented with worsening gait instability, blurry vision, headache, and intermittent emesis over a 4-month period. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated a right ventricular mass at the foramen of Monro with associated obstructive hydrocephalus (Fig 1). The lesion was well circumscribed and nonenhancing and measured 1.9 cm × 1.9 cm × 2.1 cm with minimal surrounding edema. A computed tomography scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis showed no evidence of extracranial disease.
