Treatment of colloid cysts of the third ventricle by stereotactic aspiration
Abstract
Four patients are described with a colloid cyst in the anterior part of the third ventricle, causing obstruction of the foramina of Monro. Stereotactic aspiration of the cyst was performed after exact neuroradiological localization, including CT scan. The great advantages of the technique presented are discussed.
