Figure 6 Diffuse yellowish coloration of the walls of the right lateral ventricle discovered during neuroendoscopic examination, with clusters of neoplastic cells embedding the choroid plexus and a thin sheet of tumor cells forming small nodules in the subependymal region (A–C). Endoscopic view of the septostomy with a contralateral apparently normal ependymal layer and choroid plexus (D and E). Close-up view of an initial, contralateral tumor infiltration evident through the fibers of the subependymal layer, situated along the anterior commissure (F). This finding was undetected by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (see ).
