58% of [[Intraventricular ependymoma]] originate in the [[fourth ventricle]], while the other 42% are located in the lateral and [[third ventricle]]s

===== Clinical features =====

The most consistent neurological problem associated with [[lateral ventricle tumor]]s, including ependymomas, is cognitive impairment associated with hydrocephalus.

If the tumor is present at a critical site for CSF flow, acute obstructive hydrocephalus and sudden death may occur.
