Colloid cysts, benign outgrowths from the roof of the third ventricle, warrant resection when
they become symptomatic. Historically, this has been performed by craniotomy and a …

Introduction: Colloid cysts (CCs) are rare benign lesions that usually arise from the roof of
the third ventricle. They may present with obstructive hydrocephalus and cause sudden …

Goals of treatment of colloid cysts of the third ventricle are relief of foraminal obstruction and
prevention of recurrence. Both goals are perfectly met by microsurgical removal from a …

OBJECTIVE: Colloid cysts of the third and lateral ventricles have traditionally been treated
by transfrontal and transcallosal microsurgical resection or by stereotactic aspiration …

Objective Endoscopic approaches are increasingly utilized to treat third ventricular colloid
cysts but have been associated with lower rates of complete cyst wall resection. Our …

Background and Purpose: The endoscopic approach to colloid cysts of the third ventricle is
receiving increasing interest. However, its effectiveness is a matter of discussion. The aim of …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this report is to discuss the technical aspects of operating on
colloid cysts through a transventricular approach, with rigid endoscopes. METHODS: Twelve …

Advances in endoscopic technology have increased the treatment options for patients with
colloid cysts of the third ventricle. The endoscopic technique used by the two neurosurgeons …
