Abstract
Two cases of colloid cyst of the third ventricle are reported. Their computed tomographic (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and neuropathological features are presented. The MR findings were different in the two cases for reasons not yet fully explained, full biochemical and biophysical analyses of the cyst contents not being available. Neuropathologically, the only significant difference was the abundant presence of cholesterin crystals in the colloid of case 1 and their absence in case 2. One of our cases is also peculiar from a CT point of view, since it was primarily hypodense and did not enhance on intravenous contrast administration.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
