According to the statistics of a large number of cases, gliomas are more common in the front part of the lateral ventricle, and meningiomas are more common in the posterior part. Choroidal papillomas mostly occur in the triangular area and can extend to other parts of the ventricle, sometimes through the ventricle. The hole grows into the third ventricle. However, it seems that tumors in the lateral ventricle mostly occur in the anterior and triangular regions of the lateral ventricle.
