Abstract
Colloid cysts (CCs) are usually small, benign lesions located at the foramen of Monro. They usually grow to a size of 1-3 cms. We have described here a giant colloid cyst of size 6 x 5.2 x 4.4 cm with a unique radiological appearance of multiple concentric layers with different intensities which has not been described before. This unusual appearance is most probably due to the variation of hydration between the different layers with gradually decreasing concentration of protein from centre to periphery, which correlated well with intraoperative and histopathological findings.
胶体囊肿(CC)通常是位于门罗孔的小型良性病变。它们通常长到1-3厘米的大小。我们在这里描述了一个大小为6 x 5.2 x 4.4的巨大胶质囊肿 cm,具有先前未描述的具有不同强度的多个同心层的独特放射学外观。这种不寻常的外观很可能是由于不同层之间的水合作用变化,蛋白质浓度从中心到外围逐渐降低,这与术中和组织病理学结果密切相关。
期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Neurosurgery is a leading international forum for debate in the field of neurosurgery, publishing original peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality, along with comment and correspondence on all topics of current interest to neurosurgeons worldwide.
Coverage includes all aspects of case assessment and surgical practice, as well as wide-ranging research, with an emphasis on clinical rather than experimental material. Special emphasis is placed on postgraduate education with review articles on basic neurosciences and on the theory behind advances in techniques, investigation and clinical management. All papers are submitted to rigorous and independent peer-review, ensuring the journal’s wide citation and its appearance in the major abstracting and indexing services.
