ABSTRACT
Colloid cysts are benign congenital cysts that arise in the anterior part of the third ventricle of brain at the level of foramen of Monro and constitute 1% of all cerebral tumors. They occur usually in the younger age and are asymptomatic unless they compress foramen of Monro and cause hydrocephalus. They can be symptomatic and fatal, if not treated properly. A case is reported here who had an outside referral for CT Scan of brain with main complaints of persistent recurrent headache and positional vertigo
