colloid cysts/asthenia

The clinical and anatomical results of the treatment of 7 colloid cysts of third ventricle by stereotaxic aspiration are reported. A history of increased intracranial pressure was reported in all patients (4 females aged of 12, 16, 28, 38 years; 3 males aged of 36, 54, 59 years). A ventricular

A 29-year-old male presented to our emergency department with complaints of a left frontal headache, similar to his prior headaches. He also reported about 30 minutes of facial and tongue numbness, left arm weakness, slurred speech and changes in hearing that had resolved prior to his arrival.

OBJECTIVE Microsurgical excision of colloid cysts of the third ventricle is accomplished along the transcallosal or the transfrontal routes. In the transcallosal approach, venous tributaries of the superior sagittal sinus can often act as an impediment to entry into the interhemispheric fissure for

BACKGROUND Colloid cyst of the third ventricle has rarely been reported in the ophthalmic literature. The incidence is about one per 1000 in asymptomatic patients and accounts for 0.55 to 2 percent of all intracranial tumors. Although it is an uncommon benign tumor, nearly half of symptomatic

BACKGROUND Colloid cysts are benign intracranial lesions that usually involve the anterior third ventricle with varying appearance on imaging studies. The number of articles debating the origin of this tumor is surpassed by papers proposing the best modality available for its

Endodermal cyst is a rare developmental cyst of the CNS, such as a Rathke cleft and colloid cyst lined by columnar epithelium of presumed endodermal origin. Intracranial endodermal cysts are rare, and most are found in the posterior fossa. The authors report a case of petroclival endodermal cyst
