This document discusses a colloid cyst located in the anterior part of the roof of the third ventricle seen on a CT scan. Key details include:
- Colloid cysts are non-neoplastic epithelial cysts that typically present in patients in their 3rd to 5th decade of life.
- On CT, a colloid cyst appears as a hyperdense or isodense, round/ovoid lesion in the anterior part of the roof of the third ventricle.
- Surgical excision is the curative treatment for symptomatic colloid cysts, while asymptomatic or small cysts may be monitored conservatively. Various surgical approaches can be used depending on the individual case.
