Colloid cyst : ウィキペディア英語版 | Colloid cyst
A colloid cyst is a cyst containing gelatinous material in the brain. It is almost always found just posterior to the foramen of Monro in the anterior aspect of the third ventricle, originating from the roof of the ventricle. Because of its location, it can cause obstructive hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure. A Colloid cyst of the third ventricle accounts for 0.55 to 2 percent of all intracranial tumors, about one per 1000 in asymptomatic patients.〔http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8888834〕 Symptoms can include headache, vertigo, memory deficits, diplopia, behavioral disturbances and in extreme cases, sudden death. Untreated pressure caused by these cysts can result in brain herniation. Colloid cyst symptoms have been associated with 4 variables: cyst size, cyst imaging characteristics, ventricular size, and patient age. The developmental origin is unclear, though they may be of endodermal origin, which would explain the mucin-producing, ciliated cell type. These cysts can be surgically resected, and opinion is divided about the advisability of this. ==Colloid cyst diagnosis== Colloid cysts can be diagnosed by symptoms presented. Additional testing will be required and the colloid cyst symptoms can resemble those of other diseases. MRI and CT scans are often used to confirm diagnosis.
