Key Points

To explore a minimally invasive treatment strategy for cystic hypoglossal neurinoma in an older adult.
Combining partial resection with cyst aspiration
Utilizing gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS)
Focus on older adults with comorbidities
Successful management of cystic hypoglossal neurinoma
Minimized postoperative complications
Effective treatment alternative for high-risk older adults

Abstract

A treatment strategy combining cyst aspiration and GKRS was useful for managing cystic hypoglossal neurinoma in an older adult. Minimally invasive management should be considered for older adults with comorbidities who are at increased risk for postoperative complications. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25821.
