INTRODUCTION: Subependymomas are benign intraventricular tumours that most often occur asymptomatically and are found incidentally on autopsy. Symptomatic examples requiring surgical intervention are exceedingly rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old man with no history of neurological symptoms presented with multiple episodes of loss of consciousness and increasing headaches. MRI revealed a lobulated intraventricular mass centred at the right Foramen of Monro. Obstructive hydrocephalus with localised midline shift and a second lesion were noted. Right frontal craniotomy with total removal via transcortical resection was performed. DISCUSSION: Symptomatic subependymomas generally present with signs of hydrocephalus due to obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid pathways. There is only one other reported case of multifocal subependymomas in a symptomatic patient. An example of multiple supratentorial subependymomas causing obstructive hydrocephalus has not been previously reported. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple subependymomas are rare. Judicious surgical management with full excision led to symptomatic improvement in our patient.
