Abstract

Intraventricular tumor is very rare presentation in brain. In our article we present very rarely seen intraventricular tumor in child which migrate during the changing the position of head. So we call it “mouse in the brain”. This case is challenging for the neurosurgeon to operate without any advance infrastructure like intra-operative ultra sound machine or portable computed tomography (CT) scan.
