Medical Park Göztepe Hospital Complex in Istanbul, Turkey provides full-spectrum care for brain cysts. Diagnostics may start from $200 for an ultrasound, with MRI scans costing around $500-$700 and advanced non-invasive treatment like Gamma Knife radiosurgery typically running $6,000. The clinic's neurosurgery team is led by Prof. Türker Kılıç, a pioneer of Gamma Knife technology in Turkey with 31 years of experience. He has performed over 7,000 procedures and trained at the prestigious Karolinska Institute.
Diagnostics for Brain Cysts
The hospital uses advanced imaging to precisely assess the cyst. Its comprehensive diagnostic options include:
- Ultrasound: A basic scan that may cost around $200-$300.
- CT scan: A detailed X-ray imaging procedure costing around $500.
- MRI (one area): High-resolution imaging for soft tissue, typically $500-$700.
- Extended blood analysis: Laboratory tests to support diagnosis, around $500-$650.
Treatment Options Available
The clinic offers both non-invasive and surgical treatments. The approach depends on the cyst's size and symptoms. Primary methods include:
Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery
This is a non-invasive, precise radiation treatment. It does not require a surgical incision. The treatment is for brain cysts and tumors. Patients typically go home the same day. A treatment package is around $6,000. It covers the pre-op consultation, all surgeon and facility fees, lab tests, and nursing care.
Brain Tumor Removal Surgery
Surgical excision is for larger or symptomatic cysts. It uses microsurgical or endoscopic techniques. This requires a hospital stay of several days. The procedure costs around $21,500. This covers the core operating room and surgical costs.
Leading Medical Expertise
Prof. Türker Kılıç leads the neurosurgery department. He brings three decades of specialized experience. His membership in the International Gamma-Knife Society highlights his authority. The clinic itself is JCI and TÜV SÜD accredited. It houses Turkey's first privately owned cancer hospital. The facility features advanced technology like PET-CT and a dedicated chemotherapy unit. This creates a multi-specialty environment for complex neurological care. Patients can discuss these options to find the right individual plan.
