3RD VENTRICLE COLLOID CYST
Colloid cysts constitute about 3% of primary brain neoplasms and roughly about 1/5th of intraventricular space occupying lesions. They are mostly located at the foramen of Monro
They usually present in early middle age and rarely in the paediatric population
They are mostly found incidentally . Owing to their critical position in the roof of the third ventricle they can on occasion dramatically present with sudden obstructive hydrocephalus and thunderclap headache or collapse and unconsciousness.
