Abstract

This article focuses on the neuropsychological outcomes following neurosurgical removal of colloid cysts, benign fluid-filled lesions typically located in the rostral third ventricle near the foramen of Monro. The study evaluated 20 patients using comprehensive neuropsychological tests before and after endoscopic cyst removal, assessing domains such as attention, executive function, memory, visuospatial abilities, language, motor skills, and mood, alongside neuroimaging and surgical data. Results showed a statistically significant postoperative improvement only in the Stroop Color-Word test, with no other cognitive measures demonstrating significant change. The authors emphasize the importance of a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to care for patients with colloid cysts and similar non-cancerous brain lesions to optimize neurocognitive outcomes.
