The widespread use of MRI has led to the increasingly frequent diagnosis of pineal and colloid cysts. While most are small and incidental, do not require long-term monitoring and will never need treatment, they are a cause of patient anxiety and clinician uncertainty regarding the optimal management—particularly for larger cysts or those with an atypical appearance. Occasionally pineal cysts, and more commonly colloid cysts, cause hydrocephalus that requires urgent neurosurgical treatment. More recently the non-hydrocephalic symptomatic pineal cyst has been described in the neurosurgical literature but there is controversy over this entity and its management. This review addresses the difficulties in managing pineal and colloid cysts and provides a pragmatic framework for the practising clinician.

✓ Since computerized tomography (CT) scanning became available at the University Health Center of Pittsburgh in July, 1975, 17 patients have undergone removal of colloid cysts of the third ventricle by transfrontal, transcallosal, or stereotaxic surgery. All patients presented with symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure; CT scanning proved to be the best neurodiagnostic test to define the colloid cysts. Since the development of CT-guided stereotaxic surgery, the authors have preferentially performed stereotaxic aspiration in seven patients; three of these subsequently required craniotomies to remove residual cysts producing persistent symptoms. The viscosity of the intracystic colloid material and/or displacement of the cyst away from the aspiration needle were reasons for unsuccessful aspiration; the CT appearance did not correlate with the ability to aspirate the lesion by the stereotaxic technique. Postoperative patency of the ventricular system was documented by intraoperative CT ventriculography performed during stereotaxic surgery. Removal of the cyst wall was not necessary. Because of the low associated morbidity rate, percutaneous stereotaxic aspiration is recommended as the initial treatment of choice for colloid cysts of the third ventricle. If stereotaxic aspiration fails and symptoms persist, craniotomy should be performed.

The clinical symptoms of chiasmal-cellular formations are similar, which significantly complicates its differential diagnostics. The differential diagnostics of chiasmal-cellular cysts, which include colloid cysts, arachnoid cysts, Rathke’s pouch cysts, epidermoid and dermoid cysts, is especially difficult. Nevertheless, an accurate preoperative differential diagnostics of chiasmal-cellular cysts is an important stage of preparation for surgical treatment, which allows determining the surgical tactics in advance, because each group of chiasmal-cellular cysts has its own features of surgical treatment, which significantly reduce the number of complications and minimize the number of recurrences. This study intended to improve the efficiency of diagnostics of the chiasmal-cellular cysts by determining the criteria for its differential diagnostics. 94 patients with chiasmal-cellular cysts and pituitary adenomas were examined and treated in the period of 2009 and 2018 for this purpose. As the most frequent pathology of the chiasmal-cellular area, pituitary adenomas were selected as a comparison group due to the fact that it is often necessary to differentiate chiasmal-cellular cysts with this pathology. Patients were divided into 5 groups according to the nosology of the disease. Clinical picture, laboratory analysis and MRI data were studied in each group. Statistical analysis and comparison of the data obtained among all groups were performed, and it allowed to determine the distinctive diagnostic features incidental to each group. It is possible to make an accurate preoperative diagnosis based on the specific features of differential diagnostics.
