Abstract: Colloid cysts are uncommon, intracranial lesions frequently arising from the anterior aspect of the third ventricle. Rarely a cyst presents greater than 30 mm diameter as a giant colloid cyst. This case reports a patient with a giant colloid cyst occupying a cavum septum pellucidum et vergae. The clinical and operative significance of this anatomical variation is discussed and the giant colloid cyst literature reviewed.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
