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.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/b4cc3b8c-728d-4dd8-b794-ad54e0a901dd/featured/hero-1781558826359.png","publishDate":"2025-02-28T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_814_2024","categories":["Pediatric Neurosurgery","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/13422/SNI-16-64.pdf"}
