ABSTRACT
A 26-year-old man was referred to our department with recurrent episodes of loss of consciousness. The radiological evaluation of the patient's cranium showed a third ventricular colloid cyst with only a slight degree of obstructive hydrocephalus. The complete, en-bloc removal of the cyst was achieved by a frameless neuronavigation-guided endoscopic resection technique. The patient had an uneventful post-operative period and was discharged home on the fourth post-operative day without any neurological or psychological deficit. The surgical technique and pertinent literature are discussed with emphasis on factors that contribute to our successful total en-bloc removal of the third ventricular colloid cyst.
