title: Colloid cyst of the third ventricle. Evaluation of 28 cases of colloid cyst of the third ventricle operated on by transcortical transventricular (25 cases) and transcallosal/transventricular (3 cases) approaches.
abstract: The clinical and x-ray features of 28 cases of colloid cyst of the third ventricle are described. Colloid cyst is one of the most favourable space-occupying lesions of the brain for successful surgical removal, because an exact pre-operative diagnosis is possible. The surgical approach for colloid cyst of the third ventricle is discussed and the frequency of postoperative seizure is reviewed in 28 cases and compared with the literature.
