Abstract
Most supratentorial extraventricular ependymomas are WHO grade III tumors. STRandWHO Grade III pathology predicted worse PFS and OS. Gross-total resection remains the optimal treatment for patients with supratentorial extraventricular ependymoma. Reoperation should be considered first in cases of recurrence. The role of postoperative radiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment for supratentorial extraventricular ependymoma needs further investigation.
