TLDR
Computed tomography is an invaluable diagnostic tool and it seems that, since it has become widely used in the evaluation of patients with headaches or dementia, colloid cysts are being recognized with increasing frequency.Abstract:
In this paper 33 cases of colloid cyst of the 3rd ventricle are presented. The initial symptoms as well as the clinical syndromes are quite variable, but usually consist of a combination of signs of increased intracranial pressure and an organic dementia, progressive or paroxysmal. Computed tomography is an invaluable diagnostic tool and it seems that, since it has become widely used in the evaluation of patients with headaches or dementia, colloid cysts are being recognized with increasing frequency. Different modalities of treatment are discussed. The transcortical and transcallosal approaches are both effective techniques, but the latter is probably preferable in cases with mild ventricular dilatation.read more

Neuroendoscopic approach to intraventricular lesions
TL;DR: It was possible to achieve relief of noncommunicating hydrocephalus, tumor resections, and even complete tumor removals by using endoscopic techniques, and the authors believe that endoscope techniques should be considered in the treatment of selected intraventricular lesions.

Surgical management of colloid cyst of the third ventricle--a study of 105 cases.
TL;DR: Colloid cyst, although a benign tumor, is surgically challenging because of its deep midline location and carries an excellent prognosis when diagnosed early and excised.

Third ventricle colloid cysts : A consecutive 12-year series
TL;DR: A continuous follow-up review of colloid cysts including aspects of natural history and evaluation of treatment options is necessary to optimize individual treatment.

Endoscopic Management of Colloid Cysts
TL;DR: These results show that endoscopy is a safe and promising percutaneous technique for the treatment of colloid cysts of the third ventricle and longer follow-up is, however, still required.

Neuroendoscopic treatment for colloid cysts of the third ventricle: the experience of a decade.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated endoscopically treated patients with symptomatic colloid cysts of the third ventricle and found that the long-term follow-up showed a clear benefit in each patient.
