Background And Purpose
Method
We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane Central electronic databases and collected studies of patients with MCFACs treated with 1 of 3 surgical methods. Eligible studies reported the rate of clinical symptoms improvement (RCSI), rate of cyst reduction (RCR), rate of total complications (RTC), rate of short-term complications (RSTC), rate of long-term complications (RLTC), and other parameters.
Conclusion
All 3 surgical methods are effective for MCFACs, but considering safety, neuroendoscopic fenestration may be the best initial procedure.
