title: [Colloid cyst of the fourth ventricle. Apropos of a case].
abstract: We report a case of a 29 year old patient with a colloid cyst of the fourth ventricule. Colloid cysts or epithelial cysts are exceptional in this site. A common neuroepithelial origin with third ventricule cysts could be explained by similar embryological developments of the prosencephalic and the rhombencephalic roofs. The diagnosis can only be made by histological examination.
