Recurrence After Microsurgical Excision of Third Ventricular Colloid Cysts in a Contemporary Cohort of 84 Patients.
World Neurosurg

Department of Neurological Sciences, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. Electronic address:
Objective: To examine recurrence rates in patients undergoing microsurgical excision of colloid cysts of the third ventricle with long-term serial clinical and imaging follow-up and to identify risk factors for cyst recurrence.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed a single-surgeon cohort of 84 patients who underwent microsurgical excision of a third ventricular colloid cyst between 1994 and 2018 and who were followed for at least 12 months after surgery. The primary outcome of interest was recurrence (asymptomatic and symptomatic).
Rapid Deterioration and Fatal Outcomes in Colloid Cyst-Induced Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Case Report.
Healthcare (Basel)
October 2024
International Medical Center Hospital, Jeddah 23214, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Colloid cysts are rare tumors in the brain that can lead to severe complications like obstructive hydrocephalus, sometimes resulting in death despite being usually benign.
- A case study of a 29-year-old woman showed that delayed diagnosis of her symptoms, including headaches and nausea, led to rapid deterioration after a colloid cyst was found obstructing the third ventricle.
- This incident emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to recognize symptoms early and manage such conditions effectively, as well as the necessity for further research to improve treatment methods.
Visualizing thyroid health: a pictorial journey through 2017 ACR TI-RADS and common thyroid pathologies.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
September 2024
Department of Radiology and Imaging, Grande International Hospital.
Article Synopsis
- The introduction of high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) has led to earlier detection of thyroid nodules, posing challenges for healthcare professionals in deciding treatment steps, as most nodules are benign.
- There are frequent inconsistencies in how radiologists interpret thyroid nodules, often misidentifying different types due to similarities in their ultrasound characteristics.
- The 2017 ACR TI-RADS system aims to standardize nodule classification based on HRUS features (TI-RADS 1 to TI-RADS 5), and this review article provides a visual guide to help radiologists and clinicians more accurately interpret thyroid imaging and understand common conditions.
