Neuroepithelial cyst causing homonymous hemianopia treated through surgical marsupialization under visual-evoked potentials: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Neuroepithelial cysts (NECs) are rare entities, occasionally causing neurological symptoms that can be overlooked. Case Description: A case of an occipital neuroepithelial cyst is discussed. The initial presentation consisted of mild homonymous hemianopia and gait impairment. Conservative management was suggested to start with, but at 6 months follow-up, the patient's symptoms were worsening. Surgery was performed under general anesthetic and using visual-evoked potentials. The cyst was marsupialized and connected with subdural space, and a few samples were sent for histological analysis. The patient experienced immediate improvement in her symptoms, and the visual tests at follow-up confirmed the resolution of the previously documented hemianopia. Conclusion: NECs should be carefully assessed to rule out symptoms associated with mass effects. This case and others reported in the international literature show that occipital neuroepithelial cysts can benefit from surgical treatment with meticulous preoperative planning. The aid of neuromonitoring is crucial to identify anatomical variations and cortical functionality that are potentially distorted in the presence of these lesions.
