A Case Study of a Colloid Cyst
Colloid cysts in the third ventricle of are very rare
intracranial benign tumors. The cysts are located deep inside
which makes treatment of the tumor very difficult. It takes a
team of skilled professionals to treat patient with these kinds
of cysts. The two people that I will be focusing on are the
Neurologist and the Neurosurgeon even though there are whole
teams of people that specialize in neurosurgery and that see to
the patients care pre and post operation.
The Role of the Neurologist:
The role of the Neurologist is to diagnose and come up with a
plan of action for the patient, depending on what is wrong with
the patient. The Neurologist can order test for the patient to
see what is wrong and what needs to be done. These tests can
include but are not limited to blood test, CT scan, or MRI scan.
The Neurologist works with the Neurosurgeon and instructs him or
her on what to do during the surgery.
Patient can get referred to Neurologist for many reasons but
most often the patient symptoms are intracranial pressure
(headaches) and/ or dizzy spells. Common signs of a colloid cyst
are short-term memory interruptions and papilledema.
Papilledema is swelling of the optic disk where the optic nerve
enters the eyeball. The optic nerve is responsible for carrying
virtual impulses to the brain.
Based on the symptoms of the patient the neurologist will order
test to find out what is going on. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) is one way of diagnosing. Most of the brain and central
nervous system problems are diagnosed through the use of a MRI.
MRI creates an image using nuclear magnetic resonance and is
possible because the human body is filled with small biological
magnets. (See figure 1, normal brain during MRI)
In the case of the patient he never saw a neurologist because
his colloid cyst was found during a routine CAT scan following
his accident. However the patient was suffering from dizzy
spells prior to surgery.
For patients with a colloid cyst the most common plan of action
is surgery, which is preformed about 93% of the time. The two
method used most often are Transcallosal and
transcortialtransventricular. Out of the 105 patients in the

However, the title of “Works Cited” itself isn’t universal for all essay formats. Of course other essay formats allow the author to cite works and information that add value to their work, but the style and format of page varies significantly for many reasons. Firstly, here is an example of an MLA citation,

He didn’t even seem to act at all weird or put himself above her for the first three quarters of the monologue and then BOOM no more woman. This man is the more dangerous of the two: the silent killer who no one expects. That’s the kind of guy you’d want to share your lunch with every day so he wouldn’t kill you when he shot up the office.

As one evaluates the article, “Children Need to Play, Not Compete,” Jessica Statsky explains the dangers of children being involved in competitive sports at a young age. She worries that sports “entice children into physical actions that are bad for growing bodies” (para. 3). She also states that coaches and parents may push their child athletes farther than they want to be pushed. Statsky explains how life lessons may be learned and friendships may be gained through sports, and that winning should not be the most important part of playing. With possible risks of life long injuries, one should support Statsky in her claim that children should learn to play the game, not so much compete.
Obstructions such as tumors can interrupt normal brain activity, leading to deficits of normal reasoning, motor control, or consciousness. Many of the signs of neural damage are easily recognizable by an outside observer, but since the actual cause of these problems are internal, the symptoms can be vague. The real deficits can affect the brain’s anatomy, or the way signals are processed. A physician can only determine the real cause by examining the brain internally to find irregularities, either in structure or in functioning.
Youth sport programs try their hardest to portray and mirror professional sports organizations and teams in skills, looks, and status. Although sports can assist in building character, self- esteem, and health, it can also plant the seed of cruelty, greed, and dishonesty. At some point in many sports winning becomes the single most important factor in maintaining a winner status, no matter the cost. With this being the ultimate goal for coaches and parents it then eliminates the fun aspect most children play for from the start. When coaches and parents all have different agendas and goals of how the sport should be played, the child is then put in the middle of something called “crossfire”, which can evolve into much unneeded stress put on the young athlete. With confusion and large amounts of pressure put on the child to win, we then see there is a conflict of understanding ‘personal victory’ vs ‘team victory’. This can cause low self-esteem, extra stress, or fear towards losing if the expectation of the parents and coaches are not delivered by the
