DOI: 10.1007/s11060-022-03966-0
Abstract: Colloid cysts are rare, benign brain tumors of the third ventricle with an estimated population prevalence of 1 in 5800. Sudden deterioration and death secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus are well-described presentations in patients with a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2017.10.083
Abstract: A middle-aged man presented with syncope and confusion. Neuroimaging revealed a third ventricular mass with obstructive hydrocephalus and bilateral convexity meningiomata. The masses were excised and pathology showed a colloid cyst and WHO grade 1… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.10.188
Abstract: BACKGROUND The Colloid Cyst Risk Score (CCRS) was devised to identify symptomatic colloid cyst patients and stratify risk of hydrocephalus. The CCRS considers patient age, presence of headache, colloid cyst diameter, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.08.176
Abstract: Background Colloid cysts are rare developmental lesions, accounting for approximately 1% of intracranial tumors. Often, these benign lesions are asymptomatic, but they are associated with significant mortality as a result of acute hydrocephalus. This mortality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2020.1820946
Abstract: BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection can be used for removing colloid cysts as a substitute for open craniotomy. Cerebral vasospasm, a possible complication of the craniotomy procedure, has not been reported as a complication of endoscopic removal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2022.2077911
Abstract: Abstract We report the first case in the literature of acute hydrocephalus due to a simultaneous diagnosis of bacterial (not asceptic) meningitis and a colloid cyst. Diagnosing disease is the cornerstone skill of a medical… read more here.

DOI: 10.17712/nsj.2018.4.20180051
Abstract: Colloid cysts are cystic lesions that are usually located in the anterior portion of the third ventricle near the foramen of Monro. Rarely, hemorrhagic cysts can lead to acute obstructive hydrocephalus or sudden death. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.25259/sni_1071_2022
Abstract: Background: Colloid cysts have always provoked the interest of neurosurgeons due to their benign histology, wide variety of clinical presentations, and differences in reported surgical outcomes. Although recent studies have reported favorable outcomes with different… read more here.

DOI: 10.25259/sni_179_2019
Abstract: Background: Despite colloid cyst in the third ventricle is a very usual cause of hydrocephalus, its xanthogranulomatous variant is rare. The most important differential diagnosis is the third ventricular craniopharyngioma. To the best of the… read more here.
