Subependymoma is a rare intraventricular tumor usually located in the fourth (50–60%) and lateral ventricles (30–40%), less frequently in the septum pellucidum and spinal cord 1,2. Symptoms are related to CSF obstruction with headache as main symptom. Valsalva-related headache and transient altered mental status were rarely described 3. Headache induced by Valsalva manoeuvre is usually considered an alarm symptom of intracranial lesions4. Here, we report a case of Valsalva-related headache due to subependymoma of septum pellucidum.

Abstract

Subependymoma is a rare intraventricular tumor usually located in the fourth (50–60%) and lateral ventricles (30–40%), less frequently in the septum pellucidum and spinal cord 1,2. Symptoms are related to CSF obstruction with headache as main symptom. Valsalva-related headache and transient altered mental status were rarely described 3. Headache induced by Valsalva manoeuvre is usually considered an alarm symptom of intracranial lesions4. Here, we report a case of Valsalva-related headache due to subependymoma of septum pellucidum.
