Hi I returned to neurotalk after being gone for years. I was looking for information on memory loss related to colloid cyst in the 3rd ventricle. I was diagnosed with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome, and the colloid cyst in 1990. Had brain surgery to remove the cyst at Mayo Clinic 12/13/90. Have had numerous Basal cell carcinomas removed over the past almost 20 years, and 13, or 14 surgeries on my jaw/sinus cavities to remove cysts.

I have been struggling with memory/retention problems for YEARS!! I am trying to obtain my associate degree in nursing and it has been a STRUGGLE. I am not sure if it is due to the surgery in 1990 or if it is related to the colloid cyst that is currently in my third venticle that we are monitoring and have been since it was found 9/9/99. I will post in the colloid cyst area to see if some one there can help. I just wanted to stop here and introduce myself.

Thanks for the invite.
