Solid-calcified colloid cyst of the third ventricle

Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 2001 Apr;103(1):51-5. doi: 10.1016/s0303-8467(01)00109-3.

Abstract

We report a 65-year-old female with a solid-calcified colloid cyst in the third ventricle that was demonstrated on computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance images. The lesion was surgically excised using the anterior transcallosal-transforaminal approach. Complete preservation of the surrounding neural and vascular structures was achieved.
