Abstract

Introduction: Colloid cysts represent 0.5-1% of all intracranial neoplasms and 55% of thethird ventricular lesions. In this study, we emphasized the principles of treatment in pediatric cases with third venricular colloid cysts treated by using anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach. Materials and Method: The patients aged 16 years and below with colloid cysts, operated between 2001-2009, were evaluated retrospectively.Results: There were 3 males and 1 female patients aged between 12-16 mean age 13.75 years. The mean duration of symptoms were 2.5 months and mean duration of follow-up46.75 months. All the patients had frontal headache as a main complaint; 2 patientsalso had nausea and vomiting; and 1 patient also had numbness on the left side of his body.Three patients had bilateral marked papil edema while 1 patient had no neurologicaldeficit. Cyst was hyperintense and hypointense in cranial computed tomography of 2 and1 patients, respectively. T1-, and T2-weighted cranial magnetic resonance images wereiso-, and hyperintense in 2 patients while hypo-, and hyperintense in 1 patient, while hyper-, and isointense in 1 patient respectively. Interhemispheric-transcallosaltransforaminal approach was used in all patients. In 3 patients, total excision was performed while in 1 patient, a small part ofcapsule attached to thalamostriate vein was left. There were no cyst recurrences at follow-up.Conclusions: Although various approaches had been described to reach the third ventricular colloid cyst; we preferred thetranscallosal approach in all of our pediatric patients since the approach does not cause any cortical breach and provides

Özet

Giriş: Kolloid kistler tüm intrakranial tümörlerin %0,5-1’ini, 3. ventrikül lezyonlarının ise%55’ini oluşturur. Bu çalışmada, 3. ventrikül kolloid kisti nedeniyle kliniğimizde anteriorinterhemisferik transkallozal yaklaşımla tedavi edilen pediatrik olgular sunulmuş vetedavi prensipleri üzerinde durulmuştur.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada 2001-2009 yılları arasında opere edilen kolloid kistli 16 yaşve altı hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Hastaların 3’ü erkek, 1’i kız; yaş aralığı 12-16; ortalama yaş 13,75; ortalamasemptom süresi 2,5 ay; ortalama takip süresi 46,75 ay idi. Başvuru şikayetlerinebakıldığında, hastaların tümünde frontal yerleşimli baş ağrısı, 2 hastada ek olarak bulantı-kusma ve 1 hastada vücudunun sol tarafında uyuşma şikayeti mevcuttu. Nörolojik muayenede 3 hastada bilateral papil ödem izlenirken 1 hastada defisit saptanmadı. Kranialbilgisayarlı tomografide 2 olguda kist hiperdens, 1 hastada hipodens olarak izlendi. Kranial manyetik rezonans görüntülemede kist 2 olguda T1 ağırlıklı görüntülerde izo, T2 ağırlıklı imajlarda hiper; 1 olguda T1 ağırlıklı görüntülerde hipo, T2 ağırlıklı görüntülerde hiper; 1 olguda ise T1 ağırlıklı görüntülerde hiper, T2 ağırlıklı görüntülerde izointens idi.Tüm hastalar interhemisferik-transkallosal-transforaminal yaklaşımla tedavi edildi. Üçhastada total eksizyon mümkün olurken, 1 hastada talamostriat vene yapışık kapsülünçok küçük bir kısmı koagüle edilerek bırakıldı. Takiplerde rekürrens izlenmedi. Sonuç: Üçüncü ventrikül lezyonlarına ulaşmak için literatürde çok çeşitli yaklaşımlartanımlanmış olmakla birlikte, olgularımızda kortikal harabiyete sebep olmadığından transkallozal girişim tercih edildi. Bu yolla yaklaşım pediatrik olgularda da güvenli tümörrezeksiyonuna imkan sağlamaktadır
