RESUMEN
Introducción. Los quistes coloides son tumores benignos del tercer ventrículo. La mayoría permanecen asintomáticos. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes pueden desarrollar desde cefaleas intermitentes hasta un deterioro agudo e incluso muerte súbita. Existen varias teorías por las que se produciría una muerte súbita en estos pacientes, entre las que se incluyen el rápido crecimiento del quiste, su rotura, la alteración del control cardiovascular reflejo mediado por el hipotálamo y, rara vez, el sangrado del quiste, con sólo 15 casos descritos en la bibliografía. Caso clínico. Varón de 45 años, con hipertensión arterial como único antecedente de interés, que sufre un deterioro brusco del nivel de consciencia a causa de una hidrocefalia aguda debida a un quiste coloide hemorrágico del tercer ventrículo. Se implantó un drenaje ventricular externo en cada lado e ingresó en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, donde se certificó la muerte encefálica. Tras la extirpación del quiste mediante abordaje transcortical frontal, se confirmó el diagnóstico de quiste coloide con restos de material hemolizado subagudo. Conclusión. La hemorragia en los quistes coloides es excepcional y puede producirse en pacientes tanto sintomáticos como asintomáticos, lo que dificulta, de forma extraordinaria, el reconocimiento de esta complicación (AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Colloid cysts are benign tumors of the third ventricle. Most of them remain asymptomatic. However, some patients can develop since intermittent headaches to an acute deterioration and even sudden death. Several theories exist for which there would be a sudden death in these patients, among which include the rapid increase in size of the cyst, its rupture, the disturbance of hypothalamus-mediated cardiovascular reflex control and the unusual bleeding of the cyst, with only 15 cases described in the literature. Case report. A 45 year old male with hypertension with acute hydrocephalus due to a hemorrhagic colloid cyst in the third ventricle. An external ventricular drain on each side was introduced and he was admitted to the ICU, where brain death was certified. After removal of the cyst through transcortical frontal approach, the diagnosis of colloid cyst with remains of hemolyzed blood was confirmed. Conclusion. Bleeding in colloid cysts is exceptional, and can occur in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, making it difficult to recognize this complication (AU)
