Maconie Pinto (42) was detected with a colloid cyst of the third ventricle which is a non-cancerous, fluid-filled sac that arises in the area of the brain known as the third ventricle. He complained of persistent headaches and abnormal fluid build-up for 1 month, due to a slow-growing tumour typically found near the center of the brain.
Pinto underwent minimally invasive surgery and was successfully treated by a team headed by Dr Vinod Rambal, consultant neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road in Mumbai. He informs that colloid cysts are fluid-filled sacs (gelatinous creamy material) in the brain in the third ventricle. The incidence of this tumour (third ventricular colloid cyst) is less than one percent of brain tumours.
