Abstract
Abstract
Colloid cysts are rare benign tumors most commonly occurring in the third ventricle. Conventional open surgery for symptomatic cases may be associated with complications and a high rate of recurrence. Minimally symptomatic or incidental colloid cyst pose as a treatment dilemma due to a slight but devastating possibility of late progression and sudden death. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be the middle-of-the-road solution in such a vignette. Given its safety profile and clinico-radiological efficacy, GKRS may find a role in the treatment protocol of colloid cyst.
