Abstract
- The following is a report of a case of dorsal third ventricular cyst in a 13-year-old boy. The radiological appearance of such cystic malformation is similar to that of 'holoprosencephaly'. However, the dorsal third ventricular cyst has a developmental and clinical course more similar to those of arachnoid cysts than the holoprosencephalies. These lesions seem to be responsive to treatment of early decompressive surgery.
