Background:
Glioependymal cysts are rare lesions, especially in children.
Case Description:
The authors treated a well-developed 12-year-old male who presented with 1 week of acute-onset headache. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a thin-walled third ventricular cyst obstructing the foramen of Monro. Endoscopic fenestration of the cyst with biopsy and endoscopic third ventriculostomy was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a glioependymal cyst. At 13-month follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic without evidence of recurrence.
Conclusion:
This case represents the first glioependymal cyst reported in an adolescent.
