Abstract

A rare clinical observation is presented, which combines spontaneous ventriculostomy that occurred in a patient in adolescence and tectal glioma of the posterior parts of the third ventricle, followed for 30 years. The history of the patient’s symptoms development, as well as the dynamics of the neoplasm of the pineal region and ventricular system of the brain according to neuroim aging methods from 1995 to 2025 are demonstrated. After the formation of spontaneous ventriculostomy, the patient’s condition remains stable, without the appearance of new symptoms and an increase in the tumor size.
