abstract: We present a case of a colloid cyst in a 12-week-old male infant treated successfully by endoscopic third ventriculostomy and cyst fenestration. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest patient in whom such an approach has been utilized and the second youngest with this diagnosis.
