BackgroundThis research discusses colloid cyst surgical concerns, with an emphasis on the value of a novel surgical classification based on anatomical sites. In the study, 59 patients who underwent surgical intervention between 2009 and 2022 and were diagnosed with colloid cysts via computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging participated.MethodsThere were more male cases than female ones (57.6%). The majority of patients presented with headache (79%), followed by abnormal gait (12%), visual blurring (5%), and seizures (4%).ResultsIn this study, we present a new surgical classification based on anatomical locations, distinguishing 4 types: open Monro type (50.84%), closed Monro type (23.72%), retroforaminal type (13.55%), and interforniceal type (11.86%).ConclusionsIn summary, the surgical classification that has been suggested provides significant insights into the varied anatomical sites where colloid cysts might be found. Microneurosurgeons significantly need to be oriented about the possible sites of colloid cysts through this classification to achieve complete and curative resection and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
