Surgeons in large neurosurgical centers specialize in endoscopy of a brain cyst – the neoplasm is removed through 1-2 punctures in the skull bone up to 1 cm in size. This reduces the duration of the operation from 3 hours to 30 minutes and minimizes the risks associated with open intervention. After the procedure, the patient is discharged the next day. To perform an operation to remove a brain cyst, neurosurgeons use special medical microscopes and navigation systems. They allow you to see all the features of the brain and track the location of surgical instruments.
The treatment of brain cysts is carried out by highly qualified specialists with many years of experience and a large number of successful operations. Such doctors undergo training and advanced training in the best clinics in the world, develop new methods, and exchange experience with foreign colleagues. Some of them are included in the world and national rankings of the best specialists in their field. Thanks to this qualification, a neurosurgeon can successfully perform the most complex interventions.

To make an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment method, foreign doctors carry out:
Based on the results of this examination, the doctor may prescribe additional diagnostics, which includes:
Surgery is the main treatment for brain cysts. It is indicated if the neoplasm is large and disrupts brain function. The type of operation is chosen by the doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the patient's health and his examination results. To reduce or remove the cyst, neurosurgeons perform the following interventions :
Brain cyst shunting is a neurosurgical procedure during which the doctor inserts a special shunt into the neoplasm. Through it, fluid from the cyst is gradually excreted into the abdominal cavity. The operation allows you to reduce the size of the neoplasm and its pressure on the brain tissue. It is indicated for the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid (arachnoid) and colloid cysts of the brain.
This is a surgical opening of a cyst in the brain that allows fluid to drain and avoid the complications associated with a shunt. During the intervention, the neurosurgeon creates one or more holes in the shell of the neoplasm, which are connected to the circulation pathways of the cerebrospinal fluid. Due to this, the cyst gradually decreases.
In order for the operation to be as safe as possible, the doctor uses neuronavigation. This system allows you to track the location of surgical instruments and minimizes the risk of damage to healthy brain tissue.
During this operation, the neurosurgeon performs a thin puncture in the skull bone. Through it, a small electrode is brought to the cyst, which acts on the tissues of the neoplasm with a dosed flow of light energy. It dissolves cyst tissue and cauterizes small blood vessels to prevent bleeding. The doctor removes the resulting liquid with a special tube.
For open surgery, a neurosurgeon temporarily removes part of the cranial bone. This allows excision of large or hard-to-reach neoplasms, but this procedure requires a long recovery and is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications. In foreign clinics, open intervention is carried out in extreme cases, when other treatment is impossible. In order to reduce the risk of complications, doctors use special neurosurgical microscopes and neuronavigation systems. The patient can return to normal life in 10-14 days.
Endoscopic removal of a brain cyst is performed by surgeons through 1-2 thin punctures up to 1 cm in size in the skull bone. This allows you to maximize the preservation of healthy brain tissue and eliminate the risks associated with open surgery. In some cases, the patient can leave the clinic the very next day after the operation.
An operation to remove a cyst in the head through the nose is possible only for small neoplasms that are located in certain areas of the brain. Such an intervention requires high qualification and experience of a neurosurgeon, therefore it is not performed in every clinic.
The cost of removing a brain cyst depends on:
The cost of the operation in your particular case can be provided by the Bookimed coordinating doctor. To do this, you need to provide us with your medical records and test results. The coordinator will send them to the neurosurgeon at the clinic of your choice. You will receive a preliminary treatment plan and its exact cost. If something does not fit, the coordinating physician will continue to select the best solution.
To treat a brain cyst without surgery, doctors use drug therapy. It allows you to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and postpone the surgical intervention. The doctor selects drugs based on the age, general health of the patient and the manifestations of the disease.
It is important to know! Medical therapy cannot replace surgical treatment. If the cyst grows rapidly and disrupts the functioning of the body, the doctor prescribes an operation.
For the treatment of brain cysts in children, doctors perform the same interventions as for the treatment of adults. At the same time, it is important that the child is operated on by a pediatric neurosurgeon in a specially equipped operating room. During the intervention, he must use computer monitoring to track the location of the instruments and the actions performed as accurately as possible.
Highly qualified pediatric neurosurgeons can perform brain cyst removal even in newborns. However, such an intervention is carried out only if the neoplasm grows rapidly and threatens the development or life of a small patient.
