Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are benign intracranial tumors that usually become symptomatic in adults, rather than in children. Rare hemorrhages in these cysts can cause acute obstructive hydrocephalus and sudden death. We report a novel pediatric case of hemorrhagic colloid cyst in a 9-year-old girl who presented with headaches, nausea, and had sudden deterioration of her mental status. The patient underwent emergent ventriculostomy and then craniotomy to resect the colloid cyst; she had an excellent recovery.
第三脑室胶样囊肿是一种良性颅内肿瘤,通常在成人而非儿童中出现症状。这些囊肿罕见的出血可导致急性梗阻性脑积水和猝死。我们报告了一例9岁女孩出血性胶样囊肿的新儿科病例,该女孩出现头痛、恶心,并伴有精神状态突然恶化。患者接受了紧急脑室造瘘术,随后进行开颅手术切除胶样囊肿;她恢复良好。
