Colloid cyst is a rare benign intracranial lesion. Due to its embryologic origin and development, it is commonly located within the third ventricle, though it also presents at various locations. Its location within cavum septum pellucidum is rarely reported. Operative approaches to such lesion can be challenging and misleading due to intraoperative variations. However, surgical resection in such locations are simplified and perfected with stereotactic guidance. A case of colloid cyst within the cavum septum pellucidum and the importance of stereotactic guidance in precisely reaching the lesion, thus minimizing the dissection of corpus callosum, are discussed.

BACKGROUND The survival benefit in maximizing resection in glioblastomas (GBMs) has been demonstrated by numerous studies. The true limit of infiltration of GBMs has been an overwhelming obstacle, and several technological advances have been introduced to improve the identification of residual tumors. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the integration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) with microbubble contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) improves residual tumor identification and has an impact on the extent of resection (EOR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). METHODS A total of 230 GBM procedures were retrospectively studied. Cases were stratified according to the surgical procedure into 4 groups: 5-ALA- and CEUS-guided surgeries, 5-ALA-guided surgeries, CEUS-guided surgeries, and conventional microsurgical procedures. RESULTS Patients undergoing conventional microsurgical procedures showed the worst EORs compared to the assisted techniques (5-ALA and CEUS procedures). Both 5-ALA and CEUS techniques improved the EOR compared to conventional microsurgical procedures. However, their combination gave the best results in terms of the EOR (P = .0003). The median EOR% and the number of supramarginal resections are hence superior in the 5-ALA + CEUS + group compared to the others; this observation had consequences on PFS and OS in our series. CONCLUSION In terms of the EOR, the best results can be achieved through a combination of both techniques, where the 5-ALA-guided procedure is followed by a final survey with CEUS. Compared with other intraoperative imaging techniques, CEUS is a real-time, readily repeatable, safe, and inexpensive technique that provides valuable information to the surgeon before, during, and after resection.
