Abstract

Endoscopic surgery has truly revolutionized the surgical management of colloid cysts. Their central and deep location within the third ventricle has historically demanded a great degree of surgical skill and demand on the patient. Until the last two decades the treatment options for patients with colloid cysts included a traditional craniotomy (opening the skull for removal of the cyst), stereotactic cyst aspiration, or placement of a shunt for hydrocephalus.
