Colloid cysts often arise in the third ventricle. It is quite rare for colloid cysts to arise from lateral ventricles. We describe a case of a patient with colloid cysts in the bilateral ventricles. The patient eventually underwent a surgical operation to alleviate the symptoms. Colloid cysts have the potential to be misdiagnosed in the clinical practice; therefore, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy would be effective for differential diagnosis.
