2. • Most common age 20-40
• Roof of third ventricle
• Neurectodermal or pulmonary epithelial origin
• PAS positive
• Drop attack and signs of raised ICP
• Neurogenic stunned myocardium cause of sudden death
4. Transcallosal:
• The access to both foramina of Monro, and the possibility of choosing
the one that can better expose the cyst, is a great advantage of the
transcallosal approach.
5.
6. Transcortical approach:
• Entry point is through the middle frontal gyrus
• More lateral to medial approach of the ventricle
• Complete exposure of the lateral ventricles
• More dilated side is chosen or the non dominant side
10. Endoscopic approach:
• Endoscopy offers non-stereoscopic monocular vision and one-handed
manipulation
• a wider tubular port (neuro-endoport) and the dual-port technique
enable a bimanual surgical technique.
• Microsurgery and endoscope-assisted microsurgery through a
craniotomy enable bimanual surgical manipulation under
stereoscopic vision.
13. Endoscopic Versus Microsurgical Resection of Colloid Cysts: A Systematic Review and
Meta-Analysis of 1278 Patients

14. Take away:
• Endoscopic approach is associated with fewer complications like
shunt dependency,Seizures,meningitis
• Open/microsurgical approaches less chance of reccurance as
complete resection is possible
17. Take away:
• Average cyst size is more in endoscopic procedures
• Gross total resection is more in microsurgical approaches
• Memory deficits were more in transcallosal
• Hydrocephalus more in trans cortical approach
18. • A review of most published articles indicate that the microsurgical
resection of colloid cysts leads to better gross total removal than the
endoscopic approach.
• Endoscopic approach has fewer complication rate like seizure
• Preserving all bridging veins draining the frontal lobe prevents venous
infarction. Dissection of the terminal parts of these veins from the
dura or modified dural opening prevents their occlusion.
30. Trans callosal:
• No hydrocephalus and dilated ventricles.
• Entry point will be 1.5 lateral to midline to
avoid the superior saggital sinus
• Brain retracted superior callosal arteries
are retracted
• Entry will be between the Fornices and
then into any of the foramen of Monroe
• Enblock cyst excision is possible in trans
callosal approach.

34. Trends in our Institute:
• 36 patients were studied retrospectively
• 19 patients underwent trans cortical approach
• 13 underwent trans callosal approach
• 3endoscopic trans cortical and
• 1 endoscopic trans callosal
• Common complications faced were Hydrocephalus,CSF leaks and
meningitis all in trans cortical approach
• No complications were noted in endoscopic approach
• No recurrence was noted in either of the procedures
