title: Large hemorrhagic colloid cyst in a 35-year-old male.
abstract: Colloid cysts are rare benign tumors of the third ventricle with diverse     clinical presentation, which vary from incidentally found cysts to acute death.     An uncommon hemorrhage in these cysts is a life threatening complication which     can cause obstructive hydrocephalus with acute deterioration of the patient and     sudden death. We present a case of 35-year-old man with large hemorrhagic     colloid cyst of a third ventricle causing acute obstructive hydrocephalus even     though magnetic resonance image with low T2 signal of the cyst suggested its     clinically stable nature. Only 3 cases of in vivo diagnosed hemorrhagic colloid     cysts have been reported in the literature.
