MRI (sagittal view) of normal brain (left) and one showing a colloid cyst (round white object) of the third ventricle (brain on right). A colloid cyst is a cyst containing gelatinous material in the brain. Because of its location,it can cause obstructive hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure. These cysts account for approximately 1% of all intracranial tumours and can cause headache,vertigo,memory deficits,diplopia,behavioural disturbances and in extreme cases,sudden death | |
