How we know the type of cyst in brain? there are no symptom bt mri report says possibility of colloid cyst to be considered. doc said nothing to worry
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colloid cyst: Colloid cysts arise from the roof of the third ventricle in the brain. Many are found incidentally and are not symptomatic but some can cause unpredictable obstruction of the spinal fluid pathways. It is important to see a neurosurgeon who specializes in endoscopic brain surgery or microneurosurgery to discuss the options.
