[Neuroendoscopic removal of a colloid cyst of the third ventricle].

Abstract

The removal of the benign and only slightly symptomatic but by virtue of their localization potentially fatal lesions is a challenge for the neurosurgeons. Such cases demand a therapy without any postoperative morbidity. The neuroendoscopy meets these requirements and proves to be effective in more and more fields of the art. This article reports a case when colloid cyst was resected entirely by use of a neuroendoscope, firstly in Hungary.
