OBJECTIVEEndoscopic resection of third-ventricle colloid cysts is technically challenging due to the limited dexterity and visualization provided by neuroendoscopic instruments. Extensive training and experience are required to master the learning curve. To improve the education of neurosurgical trainees in this procedure, a synthetic surgical simulator was developed and its realism, procedural content, and utility as a training instrument were evaluated.METHODSThe simulator was developed based on the neuroimaging (axial noncontrast CT and T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced MRI) of an 8-year-old patient with a colloid cyst and hydrocephalus. Image segmentation, computer-aided design, rapid prototyping (3D printing), and silicone molding techniques were used to produce models of the skull, brain, ventricles, and colloid cyst. The cyst was filled with a viscous fluid and secured to the roof of the third ventricle. The choroid plexus and intraventricular veins were also included. Twenty-four neurosurgical trainees performed a simulated colloid cyst resection using a 30° angled endoscope, neuroendoscopic instruments, and image guidance. Using a 19-item feedback survey (5-point Likert scales), participants evaluated the simulator across 5 domains: anatomy, instrument handling, procedural content, perceived realism, and confidence and comfort level.RESULTSParticipants found the simulator’s anatomy to be highly realistic (mean 4.34 ± 0.63 [SD]) and appreciated the use of actual instruments (mean 4.38 ± 0.58). The procedural content was also rated highly (mean 4.28 ± 0.77); however, the perceived realism was rated slightly lower (mean 4.08 ± 0.63). Participants reported greater confidence in their ability to perform an endoscopic colloid cyst resection after using the simulator (mean 4.45 ± 0.68). Twenty-three participants (95.8%) indicated that they would use the simulator for additional training. Recommendations were made to develop complex case scenarios for experienced trainees (normal-sized ventricles, choroid plexus adherent to cyst wall, bleeding scenarios) and incorporate advanced instrumentation such as side-cutting aspiration devices.CONCLUSIONSA patient-specific synthetic surgical simulator for training residents and fellows in endoscopic colloid cyst resection was successfully developed. The simulator’s anatomy, instrument handling, and procedural content were found to be realistic. The simulator may serve as a valuable educational tool to learn the critical steps of endoscopic colloid cyst resection, develop a detailed understanding of intraventricular anatomy, and gain proficiency with bimanual neuroendoscopic techniques.

Histopathological Investigation

The finding of a colloid cyst on neuroimaging is often incidental. These lesions are usually located at the foramen of Monro, are hyperdense on CT scans, and generally demonstrate signal intensity of water on MR images, although this depends on their content. When symptomatic, they frequently present with headaches and nausea due to an obstructive hydrocephalus. The authors describe a case of a giant colloid cyst in a patient presenting with complete left-sided vision loss and progressive memory loss, two very atypical findings in colloid cyst presentation. Imaging findings were also atypical, and this case proved to be a diagnostic dilemma because of its clinical and radiological presentation. Histopathological investigation was of utmost importance in the final diagnosis of a colloid cyst. To the authors' knowledge this colloid cyst is larger than any other described in the literature.

BACKGROUND : Colloid cysts are one of the rare brain tumours and are mostly located in the anterosuperior portion of the third ventricle, between the fornix and surround of Foramen of Monroe. OBJECTIVES: Ÿ 1.To review the demographic information & analyse clinical manifestations of patients presenting with colloid cyst of third ventricle. Ÿ 2.To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical approaches Ÿ 3.To assess the surgical outcome in colloid cyst patients operated by any method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 16 patients who presented with a colloid cyst and underwent surgery at the Department of Neurosurgery, King George Hospital, Andhra Medical College between 2013-2018. They were evaluated based on clinical ndings and imaging features, surgical approaches used for resection and their outcomes. RESULTS: Sixteen cases of colloid cyst of the third ventricle were operated upon between 2013-2018. There were seven male and nine female patients with their ages varying between 9 and 62 years old. Nine patients were operated on by using a transcortical trans-ventricular approach, four using the anterior trans-callosal approach and, three patients by using an endoscopic approach. In all patients, complete excision of the lesions was achieved. CONCLUSION: Colloid cysts, though benign, present surgical challenges because of its deep midline location. Complete excision of the colloid cyst carries an excellent prognosis. Surgery is a safe and effective treatment option for this benign lesion.
