Abstract
The clinical and x-ray features of 28 cases of colloid cyst of the thi rd ventricle are described. Colloid cyst is one of the most favourable space-occupying lesions of the brain for successful surgical removal, because an exact pre-operative diagnosis is possible. The surgical ap proach for colloid cyst of the third ventricle is discussed and the fr equency of postoperative seizure is reviewed in 28 cases and compared with the literature.
