We present a case of a subependymoma in a 42-year-old woman presenting with obstructive hydrocephaly. The tumour was located in the septum pellucidum obstructing Monro's foramen. Following total surgical removal, the neoplasm was seen to have a nodular architecture with microcysts and clusters of cells in a fibrillary background, all features typical of subependymoma.

The chief characteristics of this rare, benign (WHO grade 1), glial tumour are discussed.
