Abstract:
A 28-year-old man with a large Sylvian fissure cyst was treated by making a small pre-coronal burr hole, and subsequently, under a direct view its wall was fenestrated with a Cushing's needle and the cyst fluid was tapped. The patient had complete neurological recovery. The follow-up was of 90 months.
