Abstract
The existence of an actively expanding cyst represents one of the most common complicating factors of many intraaxial lesions: in all these lesions the complete surgical removal is theoretically the most suitable therapeutic approach. Unfortunately, several topographic localizations as well as many anatomo-clinical reasons make the realization of this optimal solution difficult. More precisely, two different kinds of intracranial pathology offer evident examples of such difficulties: the cystic component of craniopharyngiomas (as it is largely referred to) (Miles 1977; Mori et al. 1980) and the (pseudo) cysts of the low grade gliomas (Szikla and Peragut 1975).
