Özet

Trauma patients consist vast majority of the patients who admit to emergency department, and most of them have a head trauma. A 58-year-old patient was taken to emergency department with head trauma, and a hyperdense lesion neighboring to third ventricle was detected. A diagnosis of colloid cyst was made in the patient who was being followed up for hemorrhage. In patients with head trauma, colloid cyst may easly be confused with intracranial hemorrhage due to hyperdensity. The aim of this report is to emphasize the importance of clinical thinking in the differential diagnosis of hyperdense lesion on computed tomography imaging of a patient with head injury.
