Patients may remain asymptomatic for long time while some can present with paroxysmal headache, gait disturbance, nausea, vomiting, behavioral changes, weaknesses of lower limbs, impaired memory, new learning disability and sudden death.

It has been rather generally accepted that colloid cysts of the third ventricle are derived from persisting remnants of the paraphysis2' 5 as first suggested by Sj6vall6 in 1909. The paraphysis is a variety of extraventricular choroid plexus found best developed in adult forms of the ganoid fishes and certain amphibia, but is present in the embryos of all vertebrates, including man.
