title: Operative nuances of excision of colloid cysts in septum pellucidum: a report of three cases.
abstract: Colloid cysts are common cysts are often located in the anterior third ventricle and septum pellucidum location is extremely rare. Cysts in septum pellucidum can be missed at surgery because of their unusual location. We describe three patients with colloid cysts in the septum pellucidum, with two in the cavum septum pellucidum. Various surgical implications of this unusual location are enumerated.
