Summary Five cases of meningiomas of the lateral ventricles are reported in this paper. And a brief survey of the frequency of such meningiomas as compared with all intraventricular tumors is given (11.67–57.32%). As regards the lateralization, the meningiomas in question occur, at least, twice as frequently on the left side as on the right side; the confidence interval of the ratio between the right‐sided and the left‐sided being 8.37–47.55%. Symptoms of such tumors are not uniform and even the ventriculography may fail to yield any information about the tumor. But when a tumor of the lateral ventricle is suspected, particularly on the left side, a meningioma should be considered as a diagnosis of likelihood. Histopat‐hologically, the tumor may take any type common to intracranial meningiomas of other localizations.
