By Peter Nakaji, Thomas Beaumont, Ralph Dacey Jr.
Collective wisdom and expert insights on the management of challenging colloid cysts
Few conditions provoke more consternation and controversy among neurosurgeons than colloid cysts, due to their proximity to critical neurovascular structures, broad range of clinical presentation, and the risk of sudden death from increased intracranial pressure. Colloid Cysts of the Third Ventricle: Natural History, Decision-Making, and Operative Management edited by renowned neurosurgeons Peter Nakaji, Thomas L. Beaumont, and Ralph G. Dacey, Jr., fills the void in the literature. A who’s who of master practitioners share personal perspectives and well-reasoned options for managing challenging colloid cysts.
Advances in neurosurgical technique, both endoscopic and microsurgical, have created options for colloid cysts that render the “best” approach the subject of significant debate. The book brings together what is known and what is controversial from an impressive group of seasoned neurosurgeons in 5 parts, 18 chapters, and a collection of online videos. Impressively illustrated, the textbook presents salient background information, various techniques, and case study context, thereby enabling clinicians to interpret and inform various colloid cyst management strategies and surgical approaches.
