The location of the [[myxopapillary ependymoma]] was intraventricular in two cases, where ependymal cells are normally present.

Warnick et al, report a 37-year-old woman who developed recurrent symptoms, including scotomas, disorientation,
and headache, during two successive pregnancies before the definitive diagnosis

Sato et al, reported a 29-year-old Japanese man with myxopapillary ependymoma of the right lateral ventricle
