Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are rare benign lesions. We report here an exceptional familial case defined by the evidence of two colloid cysts in two relatives of the first degree, a mother and her daughter in our description.

In case of familial colloid cyst, we have to recover a brain MRI screening of all the relatives of the first degree.
