  ABSTRACT: Background and Importance: Cavernomas of the septum pellucidum represent an extremely rare subtype of CNS cavernous angiomas which are a rare subtype of CNS tumors. Intraventricular cavernomas of the body of the lateral ventricle are usually treated by the transcallosal approach. Clinical Presentation: We present a case of a fifty-eight year old man with a septum pellucidum cavernoma successfully treated operatively by means of the inferior parietal transcortical transventricular approach. This unusual and scarcely documented tumor was situated at the posterior third of the septum pellucidum. The patient had a good recovery with no focal deficit. Conclusion: Septum pellucidum cavernomas are extremely rare lesions. Inferior parietal transcortical approach is a safe alternative to the commonly used transcallosal approach for lesions of the posterior half of the septum pellucidum.
