Core Tip
Core tip: Entrapment of the temporal horn (ETH) is a rare pathologic condition. Here we present a case of ETH secondary to postoperative gamma-knife radiosurgery (GKS) in intraventricular meningioma. A 52-year old women received gamma knife therapy 3 mo after first operation of intraventricular meningioma due to residual tumor. Then, ETH occurred 2 mo after GKS. A second operation to resect the residual tumor 8 mo after GKS was performed and the patient recovered smoothly. This case reminded us that ETH should be considered in the treatment of intraventricular meningiomas, especially before GKS.
