OBJECTIVE: @entity11 ( @entity11 ) are rare @entity5 which frequently arise within the third ventricle. Surgery remains the mainstay treatment for @entity11 . The present study comprehensively reviews all reported cases of @entity11 within the literature in order to identify risk factors for surgical complications and @entity5 recurrence. METHODS: A comprehensive search on MEDLINE (OVID and PubMed), Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted following PRISMA guidelines to identify all reported cases of @entity11 . RESULTS: A total of 81 @entity1 met the study criteria which comprised of 33 males and 48 females. Median age at diagnosis was 48 years with a range from 5 to 72 years, and mean @entity5 size was 3.1cm. Biopsy, subtotal resection (STR), and gross total resection (GTR) were achieved in 8, 34, and 33 @entity1 , respectively, with six cases not reporting extent of resection (EOR). Thirteen @entity1 underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. @entity260 were noted in 30 cases (37%), with new onset @entity2010 being the most common. Postoperative morbidity was not associated with age, @entity5 size, or extent of resection. A trans-lamina terminalis approach demonstrated a strong trend towards decreased overall rates of postoperative morbidity compared to other approaches (p=0.051). GTR was associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS; p=0.028), while adjuvant radiotherapy, age, @entity5 size and proliferative index were not predictive of @entity1 outcomes. CONCLUSION: GTR should be the primary goal for the management of @entity11 , as it is associated with improved rates of @entity5 control without an increased rate of @entity260 . Surgical approach was a stronger predictor of complication rates than extent of resection. Morbidity remains high, and future studies to further elaborate on factors predictive of @entity260 are critical.
