Management of primary or recurring grossly cystic craniopharyngiomas by means of draining systems

Drainage of the cyst cavity by means of derivative techniques may be as effective and less invasive; in combined management plans that such tumours often require, they are useful complementary procedures that can achieve long-lasting relief of symptoms, provided that the Cyst is unilocular.

Treatment of cystic astrocytomas with intracavitary phosphorus 32.

The preliminary data suggest that intracavitary 32P may provide a significant adjunctive therapy in the management of cystic astrocytomas.

Long-term access to cystic brain stem lesions using the Ommaya reservoir: technical case report.

The Ommaya reservoir allows for cyst aspiration in an outpatient setting and avoids multiple stereotactic manipulations, and may be converted to a cyst-peritoneal shunt if multiple aspirations fail to achieve cystic control.

Neuroendoscopic placement of Ommaya reservoir into a cystic craniopharyngioma

This neuroendoscopic procedure could make it easier to reduce cystic volume prior to GKS as the final procedure, and could be considered as an alternative management technique for some stubborn cystic craniopharyngiomas.

Percutaneous aspiration of brain tumor cysts via the Ommaya reservoir system

In the experience, tumor cyst aspiration by the Ommaya reservoir system is as effective as percutaneous needle aspiration, but after catheter placement aspiration can be performed with minimal technical skill, avoiding repeated CT guidance required for needle aspiration of recurrent deep-seated cysts.

Intraventricular haematoma: management of comatose patients with valve regulated external ventricular drainage.

Sump and valve regulated external ventricular drainage is a useful procedure in the management of patients with extensive intraventricular haematoma.

The Role of Stereotactic Cyst Aspiration for Glial and Metastatic Brain Tumors

Single stereotactic aspiration is a low risk procedure that provides immediate relief of symptoms in patients with cystic brain tumors and appears to be valuable together with the use of other therapeutic strategies.

Intracavitary Irradiation of Cystic Craniopharyngiomas

Because of papillary extensions and reactive gliosis, both cystic and solid craniopharyngiomas adhere closely to the surrounding brain tissue, which makes radical operative removal hazardous or even impossible, especially in larger tumors (those with diameters exceeding 3 cm).

Continuous external CSF drainage--a perpetual problem in neurosurgery.

Trattamento dei craniofaringiomi cistici mediante tecniche di drenaggio percutaneo TC guidate

Un trattamento derivativo rivolto alla eliminazione della componente fluida costituisce un utile provvedimento terapeutico che può servire ad ovviare molto rapidamente, anche se in maniera temporanea e palliativa, a gran parte ofi problemi causati dal tumore.

Postoperative intracavitary chemotherapy of malignant gliomas. A preliminary study using methotrexate.

In eight patients with malignant gliomas of the hemisphere and one with metatastic carcinoma, high doses of methotrexate were injected through an indwelling catheter into the bed of the tumor after craniotomy, and it was found possible to leave an ordinary catheter in a postoperative tumor cavity for as long as 44 days.
