| Abstract |
The authors report a case of a huge colloid cyst of the septum pellucidum with acute worsening. A 42-year-old man was admitted for unexplained lethargy. A brain CT scan disclosed a huge intra-ventricular lesion. He experienced a sudden deterioration with coma, and was managed with bilateral ventricular external shunting. Total removal was performed a few days later using a right frontal trans-ventricular approach. The discussion focuses on colloid cyst potential to mimic other intracranial lesions, rendering accurate diagnosis difficult and leading to possibly inappropriate management in similar cases. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 April 2020.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Acta Neurochirurgica
#660
of 2,141 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,410
of 62,948 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Acta Neurochirurgica
#1
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,141 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 62,948 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
