Endoscopic treatment of thalamic neuroepithelial cysts. Report of three cases

Kelly Schmidt et al. J Neurosurg. 2005 Aug.

Abstract

Thalamic neuroepithelial cysts are rare lesions of the central nervous system. Surgical management of these lesions has varied and yielded mixed results. The authors identified 10 reported cases in the literature, five of which involved symptomatic lesions. The authors present three unique cases of symptomatic thalamic neuroepithelial cysts associated with hydrocephalus, which were all successfully treated using endoscopic third ventriculostomy and fenestration of the cyst into the third ventricle.
