if this is a cyst/tumor in 3rd ventricle, it can cause obstruction in CSF flor from lateral ventricles down to fourth ventricle and can lead to hydrocephalus. Option available are
1) open surgery by neurosurgeon
2) Endoscopic third ventriculostomy
3) Gamma knife surgery
Right procedure will be determined based on patient consition, other morbidity and surgeon's expertise. So consult your surgeon ASAP.
