UNASSIGNED: We retrospectively analyzed 63 @entity1 (31 males and 32 females) with @entity145 managed over a 15year period at our institution. Surgical indications and modalities for the treatment of @entity145 are controversial, although endoscopic fenestration is often recommended as a standard procedure. In our cohort, clinical postoperative results and radiological assessments based on the presenting symptoms, cyst location, cyst volume and surgical modalities were recorded. The most common symptoms included @entity10 (66.7%), @entity1296 (46%) and @entity410 (36.5%). Cyst wall excision with microsurgical craniotomy was carried out in 28 @entity1 (44.4%), cyst fenestration in 16 (25.4%), cystoperitoneal or ventriculoperitoneal shunting in 15 (23.8%) and endoscopic fenestration in four @entity1 (6.3%). A satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved in 51 @entity1 (80.9%) and cyst reduction was achieved in 49 (77.8%), at the last follow-up. Clinical improvement correlated significantly with @entity353 in @entity1 with suprasellar and infratentorial cysts (r=0.495; p=0.022) while a similar result was not found after surgery in @entity1 with frontal and temporal cysts. Surgical complications were not correlated with surgical modalities, occurring in only seven @entity1 (11.1%). The various surgical modalities did not influence outcomes. @entity1 with nonspecific symptoms such as @entity10 may obtain favourable outcomes from surgical treatment with no severe complications, although, intracranial @entity101 and @entity51 are more definite surgical indications for @entity145 .
