Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Colloid cysts are benign tumors usually located on the roof of the third ventricle. Cyst removal is the treatment of choice. It can be accomplished microsurgically through a transcortical- or transcallosal approach, or endoscopically. There is a lack of consensus regarding the best strategy for cyst removal. One of the challenges of the traditional endoscopic technique is dealing with the cyst content density. Hyperdensity on computed tomography scan and low signal on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cyst are correlated with high viscosity cystic content.
CASE REPORTS: We present a case of a colloid cyst of the third ventricle in a 15-year-old boy removed through a pure endoscopic transventricular approach. The cyst presented a low signal on T2 MRI; nevertheless, it was easily removed with the help of an endoscopic ultrasonic aspirator.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The colloid cyst of the third ventricle can be safely treated by a purely endoscopic approach. The rationale of the use of the ultrasonic aspirator relies on the facilitation of aspiration of the content even when the consistency is extremely firm.
