Neuroendoscopic Trans-ventricular Cyst Drainage Prior to Tumour Resection Using a Two-Staged Approach for Cystic Craniopharyngioma: A Case Report and Literature Review

Key Points

• Cyst drainage precedes tumour resection, improving surgical outcomes.
• Cystic craniopharyngioma is effectively managed with this two-staged approach.
• Surgical interventions were guided by neuroendoscopic techniques to mitigate risks.
• Coordination of preoperative procedures may enhance recovery and safety.
