Hz. Gokalp et al., COLLOID CYST OF THE 3RD VENTRICLE - EVALUATION OF 28 CASES OF COLLOIDCYST OF THE 3RD VENTRICLE OPERATED ON BY TRANSCORTICAL TRANSVENTRICULAR (25 CASES) AND TRANSCALLOSAL TRANSVENTRICULAR (3 CASES) APPROACHES, Acta neurochirurgica, 138(1), 1996, pp. 45-49
The clinical and x-ray features of 28 cases of colloid cyst of the thi
rd ventricle are described. Colloid cyst is one of the most favourable
space-occupying lesions of the brain for successful surgical removal,
because an exact pre-operative diagnosis is possible. The surgical ap
proach for colloid cyst of the third ventricle is discussed and the fr
equency of postoperative seizure is reviewed in 28 cases and compared
with the literature.
