Abstract: Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are rare tumours having bimodal distribution. Pediatric CPPs are commonly present in the supratentorial compartment and most commonly located in the lateral ventricle and usually present at 16-18 months. In the present case authors illustrate an atypical case of CPP in a 6-month-old infant who was admitted to our hospital after a trivial fall with no features of hydrocephalus or raised intracranial pressure. Quick surgery keeping in mind the Maximal allowable blood loss (MABL) and low physiological reserve of infants with quick decompression of cysts and devascularizing the tumor from all around and removing the tumor in toto plays a key role in operating the pediatric tumor. MRI features play a key role in preoperative diagnosis; nevertheless, it is difficult to distinguish atypical CPT from other lesions. Surgical resection is the cornerstone of this treatment.
