    A 4-year-old male child presented with increased intracranial pressure due to a tumor in the left lateral ventricle and a blocked ventriculoperitoneal shunt that was placed one month prior. The tumor was completely excised surgically. Histopathological examination found it to be an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT), a rare and aggressive pediatric brain tumor. Unfortunately, the patient's family declined adjuvant therapy and the patient died three months post-surgery due to the tumor's aggressive nature. This case report describes one of only six reported cases of AT/RT originating in the lateral ventricle in pediatric patients and highlights the importance of including this tumor in

    A 4-year-old male child presented with features of raised intracranial pressure


    due to tumor in the left lateral ventricle with shunt blockage.
    Ventriculoperitoneal shunt was done earlier (one month ago). Craniotomy and
    gross total excision of the tumor was achieved. Histopathological examination
    was suggestive of Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid tumor. Patient relatives were not
    compliant with the advice for adjuvant therapy and patient expired after three
    months of definitive surgery due to aggressive course of the disease. To the
    best of our knowledge only six cases of AT/RT of the lateral ventricle in
    pediatric population has been described in literature. The tumor may mimic
    radiologically with benign pathology and can have an aggressive course with poor
    outcome. Differential diagnosis of AT/RT must be kept in cases of lateral
    ventricle tumor in pediatric population.
