Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Colloid cysts are rare benign, slowly growing intracranial tumors of endodermal origin. Most colloid cysts are found incidentally and are asymptomatic, but rarely, they can lead to sudden death.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old female patient was admitted to our emergency department with complaints of dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, walking difficulties, and behavioral changes. CT imaging revealed acute obstructive hydrocephalus attributable to a third ventricular colloid cyst. The patient was immediately transferred to a tertiary center where she underwent successful neurosurgical resection of the mass. Pathology results of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of colloid cyst.
CONCLUSION: The case we present emphasizes the critical importance of prompt identification of warning signs, complex thinking, and evaluation. Establishing the right diagnostic approach early on can facilitate accurate diagnosis.
