Colloid cysts are benign growths usually located either in the third ventricle or at or near the foramen of Monro, which is found at the anterior aspect of the brain’s third ventricle. The cysts comprise epithelial lining filled with gelatinous material that commonly contains mucin, old blood, cholesterol, and ions. Colloid cysts can cause a variety of symptoms, including headaches, diplopia, memory problems, and vertigo. Rarely, colloid cysts have been reported to cause sudden death. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of colloid cysts and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients with these lesions.
