“…However, it should be stressed that they stopped within two or three days with adequate treatment. Besides, it is unlikely that they should be attributed to the coagulation of the striothalamic vein since they have been observed by several authors (Shaver 1940 The second problem was that of the sequels which did occur. Out of the 10 cases presented, only 2 in the long term follow-up were found to have psychomotor retardation.…”

In the removal of tumours that develop within the third ventricle, most approaches are not entirely satisfactory. Therefore, a new approach has been devised: transfrontal exposure of the anterior portion of the frontal horn; coagulation and section of the striothalamic vein in order to open up the roof of the third ventricle; use of a blunt spatula introduced in the foramen of Monro and pushed backwards under the choroïd plexus. This approach has been used in ten cases. Postoperative mortality has been nil; the surgical approach has not apparently been responsible for any sequelae. It is simple and gives a good view of the third ventricle.

Two cases of sudden death due to colloid cysts of the third ventricle are presented with a review of the literature. In the first case, a 40-year-old woman suffered an acute onset of severe frontal headache after an intercontinental air flight. The next day, she was found comatous and died 7 h after admission to a hospital. In the second case, a 33-year-old man with a medical history of recurrent headaches was found dead in his car. Autopsy in both cases revealed a colloid cyst of the third ventricle and hydrocephalus involving the lateral ventricles. These cases demonstrate that fatal cases still occur. Nevertheless, prompt diagnosis using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential, since colloid cysts are histologically benign tumors that can be removed safely by neurosurgical intervention.
