ABSTRACT

Los quistes coloides son lesiones intracraneales congénitas benignas, de la porción antero-superior del tercer ventrículo. Suponen del 0,2 al 2 por ciento de todos los tumores intracraneales y representan del 15 al 20 por ciento de todas las masas intraventriculares. Comienzan a ser sintomáticos en la adolescencia o edad adulta temprana, generalmente con manifestaciones de cefalea o síntomas de hipertensión intracraneal al provocar hidrocefalia obstructiva. Se presenta una adolescente de 18 años con historia de cefalea de 2 años de evolución, cuyos síntomas fueron empeorando en intensidad y frecuencia, acompañados de vómitos y parestesias bilaterales; se le diagnosticó hidrocefalia obstructiva con quiste coloide del tercer ventrículo. Ante la sospecha del diagnóstico se tomó una conducta adecuada, para evitar el deterioro neurológico y la muerte. Se discutieron las principales características del quiste coloide, su cuadro clínico y radiológico(AU)


Colloidal cysts are congenital intracranial benign lesions of the anterior superior portion of the third ventricle. They represent between the 0,2 and 2 % of all the intracranial tumours and represent the 15 or 20 percent of all the intraventricular masses. They become symptomaticduring the adolescence or early adulthood and start normally with migraine or symptoms of intracranialhypertension causing obstructive hydrocephaly. We present the case of a teenager of 18 years of age withhistory of migraine after two years and the symptoms worsened in intensity and frequency including vomitingand bilateral paresthesia; the diagnosis was obstructive hydrocephaly with colloidal cyst of the third ventricle. Anappropriate practice was adopted due to the uncertain diagnosis in order to avoid neurological damage and death. We discussed the main characteristics of thecolloidal cyst, its clinical presentation and radiological characteristics and we performed(AU)
