Medical records of 228 patients who had undergone thyroid surgery were studied. There were 179 females and 49 males with mean age of 33-8 years. Pre-op. diagnosis was cold nodule in 4. 4 %. Pathology diagnosis was simple goiter in 54%, adenoma in 23%, thyroid cancer in 15% and colloid cyst in 5.3% of the patients. Among carcinomas 68% were papillary, 29% follicular and 3% medullary. There were1...

Eight patients with colloid cysts of the third ventricle were examined with CT and MR. In six, surgical resection was performed and the material was subjected to histologic evaluation; the concentrations of trace elements were determined by particle-induced X-ray emission. Stereotaxic aspiration was performed in two. The investigation showed that colloid cysts are often iso- or hypodense relati...

OBJECTIVE Colloid cysts (IIIVT CC) are benign neuroepithelial cysts located in the anterior third ventricle. The authors propose the use of Nd:YAG laser stereotactic neuroendoscopic for guided resection of the third ventricle colloid cysts. METHOD Eleven patients presented third ventricle colloid cysts and were treated by Nd:YAG laser guided with stereotactic endoscopy (n=7) , stereotactic en...

Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are rare, benign lesions that originate in the primitive neuroepithelium, which forms the roof plate of the tela choroidea [1-4] . Clinical presentation varies, symptoms being related to acute or chronic hydrocephalus. Intermittent headaches, gait disturbances, ataxia, fainting spells, mental disorders, and personality changes are encountered, alone or in co...

BACKGROUND Third ventricular colloid cysts account for 0.5% - 1.5% of all intracranial tumors. A thorough search of the world literature since 1858 revealed 1167 cases, for which a more than one-third (36%) management mortality was estimated. One third of the reported cases had modern diagnostics and surgery with minimal morbidity and nearly no mortality. The primary goal of this study was to a...
