Abstract
Introduction and importance
Colloid cysts are rare brain tumors that can cause headaches, memory problems, and vision issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications.
Case presentation
The authors report a case of a patient in their 20s with a 2-year history of headaches and blurry vision. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a colloid cyst in the third ventricle. The patient was diagnosed with astigmatism and managed with corrective lenses and regular CT scans.
Clinical discussion
The patient's astigmatism may be linked to the colloid cyst, potentially due to migraines triggered by the cyst's location. Further research is needed to understand this relationship.
Conclusion
This case highlights the potential for colloid cysts to contribute to vision problems. Careful evaluation and individualized management are essential for patients with colloid cysts and vision disturbances.
