Surgical Management of a Colloid Cyst of third ventricle

Surgical Management of a Colloid Cyst of third ventricle

A 20-year-old girl, an art student, presented with two episodes of transient loss of consciousness lasting 20–30 minutes, accompanied by neck pain radiating to the left side. Clinical evaluation, followed by MRI, revealed a third ventricular colloid cyst, causing obstruction at the foramen of Monro and resulting in intermittent symptoms of raised intracranial pressure.

The patient underwent neuro-navigation-guided craniotomy and successful excision of the colloid cyst. Intraoperative and postoperative management were uneventful. The patient was extubated immediately following the procedure. A postoperative CT scan confirmed complete excision of the cyst, with no residual tumor visible.

She was monitored in the ICU for one day, where she demonstrated remarkable recovery. Impressively, she resumed her artistic pursuits on the first postoperative day, highlighting her swift neurological recovery. Currently, she is stable and recovering well in the ward.

We extend our gratitude to the entire neurosurgery team and the operating theater staff for their seamless coordination and dedication to achieving an excellent outcome for the patient.

This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis, precise surgical planning, and multidisciplinary teamwork in the successful management of colloid cysts.

Histopathology- Nimhans 

Colloid cyst 

Regarding Third ventricular colloid cysts , these are rare 1 to 3 % whole intracranial tumours but potentially life-threatening intracranial lesions, often presenting a significant surgical challenge due to their deep midline location and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. These cysts can cause acute hydrocephalus and elevated intracranial pressure through obstruction of the foramen of Monro, leading to symptoms such as severe headaches, intermittent loss of consciousness, or, in rare cases, sudden death. Surgical management, either through neuro-navigation-guided craniotomy or endoscopic resection, demands meticulous planning and precise execution to minimize complications. Advances in neuro-navigation and microsurgical techniques have significantly enhanced the safety and efficacy of these procedures, making early diagnosis and prompt intervention essential in preventing catastrophic events.

What you need to know about spine surgery?

Overview:

If you’ve had back pain for a long time, you might be wondering if spine surgery is your only option for relief. Surgery is sometimes actually the only option. There is, however, some good news. Non-surgical treatments, also known as non-surgical conservative therapies, can treat the vast majority of back problems.

Ageing, poor body mechanics, trauma and structural abnormalities can all cause damage to your spine, resulting in back pain as well as other symptoms like leg pain, numbness and leg weakness. Chronic back pain is a condition that is usually diagnosed and treated by a team of medical professionals especially in Neuro Wellness services centre is your best choice for  treatment of  brain and spine related problems. Consider seeking the advice of several spine specialists before deciding on surgery.

This time and effort invested in gathering information will enable you to make an informed treatment decision that will best support your lifestyle and desired level of physical activity.

What about non-surgical, conservative treatment?

Before considering surgery for any non-emergency spinal injury, a trial of non-operative treatment, such as physical therapy, pain medication, preferably an anti-inflammatory or bracing should be conducted. The duration of a conservative treatment trial varies, but it usually lasts six weeks to six months.

If non-surgical treatments such as medications and physical therapy fail to relieve symptoms, spine surgery may be recommended. Surgery is considered only in cases where the exact source of pain can be identified, such as herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spinal Listhesis and spinal tumour.

How can you tell if you need spine surgery?

When someone has symptoms in their extremities, they are recommended to see their primary care physician first. If a person has low back or neck pain, they should be monitored over time and encourage them to keep up with good, consistent physical activity to see if the problem goes away. If physical activity isn’t working, try an over-the-counter remedy.

Many patients with spinal issues can be treated without surgery. Prior to considering surgery, physical therapy, home exercises, medication and in some cases, spinal  epidural injections are often recommended. If the problem still persists, surgery may be a viable option.

For example, if a patient’s neurogenic pain in the extremities is severe and non-surgical treatment has failed, surgical intervention is the best option. If non-surgical treatment fails to relieve symptoms related to spinal cord or nerve root compression, such as significant weakness in an arm, leg or limb, surgery is recommended.

Spine Surgery – imaging:

X rays- will give information about the bone quality, decided dic space, slip vertebra, ,scoliosis

MRI – will show disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, spinal tumours and adjacent  structures, foraminal narrowing etc . With this surgeon can assess the requirement of surgery.

CT SCAN- clearly show bone density, soft tissue relations

DEXA SCAN shows degree of osteoporosis – so surgeon can do spine surgery if needed and start the treatment for osteoporosis simultaneously.

What should you look for in good spine surgeons in Bangalore?

A good surgeon is committed to providing excellent patient care and outcomes and is willing to learn new approaches and techniques while honing existing ones. Spine surgeons in Bangalore should also be a good communicator who is willing to spend time explaining about the exact anatomical problem in patients words  and  why they are performing surgery and the treatment options available.

The following conditions are fulfilled by the specialised doctors of NeuroWellness care center. They provide the best treatment and make the patient feel comfortable with full care and compassion.

Surgical approaches:

 The spine can be accessed from a variety of angles, whether through open surgery or MISS. These are known as surgical approaches and they are described below:

  • Anterior approach- as the name says, the surgeon approaches the spine from the front of your body, neck and through the abdomen.
  • Posterior approach- an incision is made in your back for posterior approach most commonly.
  • Lateral approach- the pathway to your spine runs through the side.

Implants used in spine surgery

Titanium – MRI compatible

PEEK-MRI compatible

Steel – now a days hardly any surgeon uses

Types of spine surgery:

  • Microdiscetomy- advised for disc prolapse. It is the most common spine surgery done.
  • Laminectomy, foraminotomy and decompression
  • TLIF(trans foraminal lumbar interbody fusion)
  • ACDF (anterior cervical microdiscetomy and fusion)
  • Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty
  • PLIF- posterior lumbar interbody fusion
  • Artificial disk replacement

Spine surgery- what is learnt!

  • From past 2 decades due to advances in medical science- the complications are very minimal.
  • Neuromicroscope- provides magnifications of small nerve structures, good illuminations of structures so surgeon can see clearly what is being operated.
  • Microinstruments- for fine dissection.
  • Highspeed drills.
  • Neuro-navigation
  • with all these the neurological deficits are VERY RARE- like CSF leak, nerve root injury , cord injury and motor weakness infections, Implant failure.

Summary:

Commonly most spine problems are managed by conservative approach and medical treatment.  Spine surgery is when medical treatment fails to benefit. Spine surgery is advancing, it is becoming much safer in recent years due state of art and excellent outcome after spine surgery from past decade.

NeuroWellness spine and brain care center is one of the best for spine treatment , the specialised doctors and staff treat their patients with care and compassion.

Neuro wellness is also a high-ranking portal dedicated to raising public awareness about the importance of preventing, diagnosing and treating various neurological and endovascular conditions. It is one of the best neuro hospital in Bangalore.

What is spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is narrowing of spinal  space and or  compression  your spinal cord and nerve roots as they depart each vertebra. Changes in your spine as you get old is a common cause.  Symptoms are –back pain and/or neck pain, as well as numbness, tingling and weakness in the arms and legs.

What is spinal stenosis?

The narrowing of one or more areas within your spine is known as spinal stenosis. The amount of space available for your spinal cord and nerves that branch off your spinal cord is reduced . The spinal cord or nerves might become inflamed or pinched as a result of a narrowed space, resulting in back discomfort and causing claudication pain called neurogenic claudication.

Spinal stenosis normally takes a long time to develop, especially after 50 years . Osteoarthritis, or “wear and tear” changes in the spine that develop naturally as you age, are the most common causes. As a result, if some alterations are seen on X-rays or other imaging tests conducted for another cause, you may not have any symptoms for a long period.

Where does spinal stenosis affect?

Spinal stenosis can affect any part of the spine, however it usually affects two areas:

  • Lower back (lumbar canal stenosis)
  • Neck (cervical spinal stenosis)

Who gets affected by spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis can affect anyone, but it is most frequent among men and women over 50 years of age. Spinal stenosis can also affect younger persons who were born with a narrow spinal canal. Spinal stenosis can be caused by a variety of disorders that affect the spine, such as scoliosis or a spinal injury.

Causes of spinal stenosis:

There are numerous reasons for spinal stenosis. What they all have in common is that they alter the shape of your spine, narrowing the area around your spinal cord and nerve roots that escape through it. Compression or pinching of the spinal cord or nerve roots causes symptoms such as low back pain and sciatica.

The causes are:

  • Bulging disks/ herniated disk: a flat, circular cushioning pad (vertebral disc) sits between each vertebra and works as a stress absorber along the spine. The gel-like centre of these discs breaks through a weak or torn outer layer due to age-related drying out and flattening of vertebral discs, as well as breaking in the outside border of the discs. The nerves near the disc are then compressed by the bulging disc.

Spinal stenosis is commonly caused by herniated discs and bone spurs causing narrowing of spinal and Neurol foramina.

  • Thickened ligaments: ligaments, the fibre bands that keep the spine together, have thickened. Ligaments can enlarge and bulge into the spinal canal space as a result of arthritis (and can cause lateral recess syndrome)
  • So many times both disc prolapse and ligaments and facets enlarge may cause spinal stenosis.
  • inflammation from damage along the spine, can narrow the canal space or exert pressure on the nerves
  • Bone overgrowth/ arthritic spurs: osteoarthritis is a “wear and tear” condition that causes cartilage to break down in your joints, including spine. The protective coating of joints is cartilage. The bones begin to rub against one another when cartilage goes down. Your body reacts by producing new bone tissue. Bone spurs or bone overgrowth are a common occurrence.

Bone spurs on vertebrae protrude into the spinal canal, limiting the space and squeezing nerves.

Symptoms of spinal stenosis

1. Lower back (lumbar) spinal stenosis:

  • Lower back pain is a common ailment. Pain can range from a subtle aching or discomfort to an electric or searing sensation. It’s normal for pain to come and go.
  • Sciatica: this pain is what starts in your buttocks and spreads down your leg, possibly into your foot.
  • Leg cramps in one or both legs due to heavy feeling in the legs , after walking for sometime in the beginning, later stages even few steps also pain in legs ( neurogenic claudication)
  • Numbness or tingling in the buttocks, leg or foot (sometimes known as “pins or needles”)

2. Neck (cervical) spinal stenosis:

  • Neck ache
  • Arm, hand, leg or foot numbness or tingling. (symptoms can occur anywhere below the nerve compression point)
  • Arm, hand, leg or foot weakness or clumsiness.
  • Problems with body balance.
  • Loss of hand functioning, such as difficulty in writing or buttoning clothes.
  • Bladder or bowel control problems (in severe cases)

3. Abdomen (thoracic) spinal stenosis:

  • At or below the level of the abdomen, there is pain, numbness, tingling or weakness.
  • Problems with equilibrium.

Diagnosis

FAQs

1. What is spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of spaces in the spine, which puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It commonly affects the neck or lower back.

2. What causes spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is often caused by age-related changes like herniated discs, thickened ligaments, bone spurs (from osteoarthritis), or spinal injuries.

3. What are the symptoms of spinal stenosis?

Symptoms include lower back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, weakness in the limbs, sciatica, and leg cramps. In severe cases, balance issues and bladder/bowel problems may occur.

4. Where in the spine does spinal stenosis occur?

Spinal stenosis commonly affects the lower back (lumbar region) and neck (cervical region), but can also impact the thoracic spine (mid-back) in rare cases.

5. How is spinal stenosis diagnosed?

Spinal stenosis is diagnosed using MRI scans to visualize disc herniation and nerve compression, and X-rays to assess structural issues like slipped vertebrae.

What is a slipped disc?

Also also known as disc herniation, disc prolapse, disc extrusion, disc migration, disc protrusion.

The vertebrae (bones) that make up your spinal column are piled on top of each other. From top to bottom, the cervical spine has seven bones, the thoracic spine has twelve and the lumbar spine has five, with the sacrum and coccyx at the bottom. Discs provide cushioning for these bones. The discs cushion the bones by absorbing shocks from everyday actions such as walking and lifting.

A soft, gelatinous interior region and a strong outside ring make up each disc. The inner section of the disc might protrude through the outer ring due to injury or weakening. A slipped, herniated or prolapsed disc is the medical term for this condition. This creates discomfort and anguish. You may suffer numbness and pain along the afflicted nerve if a slipped disc compresses one of your spinal nerves.

Symptoms of a slipped disc:

 A slipped disc can occur anywhere in your spine. In your spine, from your neck to your lower back. Slipped discs are most commonly found in the lower back and in neck. It is also known as PIVD(Prolapsed intervertebral disc). A slipped disc can put additional strain on the nerves and muscles in the area.

The symptoms are as follows:

  • back pain and  neck pain .
  • Standing or sitting causes pain that gets worse.
  • Short distance walking causes pain.
  • Discomfort and numbness on one side of the body.
  • Pain that radiating/extends to your arms or legs
  • Pain that gets worse at night or specific motions.
  • Standing or sitting causes pain that gets worse.
  • Short distance walking causes pain.
  • Muscle weakness that is not explained.
  • Sensations of tingling, aching or burning in the afflicted area.
  • Difficulty in controlling bladder or bowel movements.

The sorts of pain differ from one person to the next. If your discomfort causes numbness or tingling that interferes with your ability to control your muscles, consult your doctor or if you are from Bangalore then visit a Bangalore Spine Specialist Clinic.

What causes slipped disc?

 The outer ring of a slipped disc(annulus) becomes weak or damaged, allowing the inner section(nucleus pulposus) to slip out. This is something that can happen as you become older. A slipped disc might also be caused by certain abnormal movements. When twisting or turning to lift an heavy object, a disc can slip out of its place. Lifting a huge, heavy object  suddenly puts a lot of strain on the lower back, which can lead to a slipped disc. Because discs must support the extra weight, obese people are more likely to develop a slipped disc.

A slipped disc can also be caused by weak muscles and a sedentary lifestyle. You are more likely to get a slipped disc as you get older. This is because as you become older, your discs lose some of their protecting water content. As a result, they are more likely to fall out of place.

How are slipped discs diagnosed?

 A physical examination will be performed first by your doctor- neurosurgeon. They will be on the lookout for the source of your suffering. This will entail assessing your nerve function and muscle strength as well as determining whether or not you experience discomfort when moving or touching the affected area. Your doctor will also inquire about your medical history as well as your current symptoms. They will know when you first started experiencing symptoms and what activities you were doing at that time.

Imaging tests can let your doctor see your spine’s bones and muscles as well as any damaged areas. Imaging scans include the following:

  • X rays
  • CT scans
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans

Your doctor can put all of this information(clinical and radiological) together to figure out what’s causing your pain, weakness or discomfort.

Is it possible to prevent a slipped disc?

 Although you may not be able to prevent a slipped disc, you can take efforts to lower your chances of acquiring one. These steps are as follows:

  • Use proper lifting techniques, such as bending and lifting from your knees rather than your waist.
  • Maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI).
  • Do not sit for a long period of time, do some exercises as well.
  • Strengthen the muscles in your back, legs and belly by doing workouts.
  • Balanced diet.
  • To seek help of a doctor at right time.

Summary:

The great majority of disc issues resolve without the need for surgery. Most people can return to normal function in a short period. In Neuro Wellness Care Services a Bangalore Spine Specialist Clinic, you will get the best treatment for problems related to spine by dedicated Spine Surgeons in Bangalore and the best Back Pain Treatment in Bangalore as well.

7 Tips to Heal Your Headache

If you are suffering from headache and looking to heal with Headache Specialist in Bangalore then you are on the right page. In this article, you will get 7 tips to heal your headache but before we jump to tips let’s understand some important information about the headache.

How Medical Define Headache?

The medical definition of “headache” is a pain in the head, which is located in the front, side, back of the head, and neck.

Let me quote the definition of Wikipedia –

“Headache is the symptom of pain in the face, head, or neck. It can occur as migraine, tension-type headache, or cluster headache. There is an increased risk of depression in those with severe headaches. Headaches can occur as a result of many conditions.”

Headache

Headache is classified mainly into two categories: Primary and secondary.

A primary headache is usually benign and longstanding. Common primary headaches are migraine and tension-type headache. They have typical features – Migraine, tends to be pulsating in character, affecting one side of the head, associated with nausea, disabling in severity and it usually lasts between 3 hours and 3 days.

7-Tips-to-cure-your-headach

Secondary Headache: This may be caused by problems elsewhere in the head or neck. Some of these are not harmful, such as cervicogenic headache (pain arising from the neck muscles). Medication overuse headache may occur in those using excessive analgesics or other medication for a headache.

Serious causes of secondary headache include brain tumours, stroke and brain hemorrhage. Patients having a very severe headache, thunderclap headache or sudden change in the pattern of long duration headache or having associated symptoms like vision loss, frequent vomiting, seizures and drowsiness may have a serious disease. This type of headache requires a brain scan (CT or MRI Scan). It may also require surgery depending on the pathology. Brain tumour biopsy or surgery may be required to know the tissue diagnosis or to relieve the headache and other associated neurological symptoms.

Why do we get headaches?

There are perceptions that headaches are a pain that originate from the brain. By the way, that is not the case because while the brain makes us a sense of pain in different parts of our bodies, it is unable to feel any pain itself.

So the pain we feel when we get a headache usually initiates from the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that cover our head and neck.

7-Tips-to-cure-your-headach

Actually, we feel pain when these muscles or blood vessels expand, contract, or go through other changes that activate the nerves around them to send a pain signal to the brain. If you wish to know more please visit a Headache Specialist in Bangalore.

What causes headaches?

There are many different reasons of headaches. Some of the most common triggers include stress, dehydration, computer or TV fatigue, loud music, smoking, alcohol, caffeine, hunger, sleeplessness and eye strain. Each type of common headache pain varies in intensity, location, for example, the top, back, or front of the head, and duration.

Sometimes hormonal changes could trigger a headache—for example, the dreaded period headache! Some kinds of headaches, like migraines, could also be hereditary which can be treated by a Best doctor for migraine in Bangalore. Stress and anxiety may trigger some people’s headaches, and some seem to have no apparent cause.

7 Tips to Heal Your Headache

Now that you are aware of Headache and its causes here you get 7 Tips to Heal Your Headache

1. Take Analgesic/pain killer after consulting the Neurosurgeon in Bangalore

In this article, all tips belong to writer experience and written for sharing information but please consult a Neurosurgeon in Bangalore before taking pain medications including the most commonly used paracetamol. Let me help you understand about paracetamol – It is very common pain reliever medicine but it has some side effects such as stomach upset – nausea and vomiting over usage can cause liver damage.

 medicine

Next common medicine used by the common man is aspirin. People with stomach ulcers or on blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) should not take aspirin. Alcohol use increases the risk of bleeding. People older than 60 years and those with kidney problems should not take aspirin unless advised by their Headache Specialist in Bangalore.

2. Try Heating Pad or Hot Compress

If you have a headache due to tension, the doctor may advise – a heating pad on your neck or the lower back of your head. If you have a sinus headache, hold a warm cloth to the area that hurts. A warm shower might also help.

Hot Compress

3. Dim the Lights

If you stay in Bright or flickering light like long work duration in front of computer/laptop screen, can cause headaches. If you’re prone to lighting devices, use the best quality eyeglasses or wear sunglasses while going outdoors.

Dim the Lights

4. Try Head Massage

Your neurosurgeon in Bangalore may advise the best cure but a few minutes of massaging your forehead, neck, and temples can help ease a tension headache, which may result from stress. Or apply gentle, rotating pressure to the painful area.

5. Avoid Stress

Stress leads to many health issues and headache is one of them. Stress is nothing but the body’s response to a challenge or demand. Everyone experiences stress, which can be triggered by a range of events, from small daily hassles to major life incidents like family issues, toxic relationships, and divorce or job loss. Try to be punctual on your healthy diets and good sleep.

Avoid Stress
