OBJECTIVE: Craniopharyngiomas have traditionally represented a challenge for open
transcranial or transsphenoidal microscopic neurosurgery because of their anatomical …

Object Craniopharyngiomas have a propensity to recur after resection, potentially causing
death through their aggressive local behavior in their critical site of origin. Recent data …

Object. The direct endonasal approach performed with the aid of an operating microscope
for removal of pituitary tumors has the potential advantage over the traditional sublabial …

Object Craniopharyngiomas are challenging tumors that most frequently occur in the sellar
or suprasellar regions. Microscopic transsphenoidal resections with various extensions and …

BACKGROUND: Controversy persists regarding the optimal treatment of pediatric
craniopharyngiomas. OBJECTIVE: We performed a meta-analysis of reported series of …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to retrospectively review the surgical
outcome of 309 craniopharyngioma cases treated by a single neurosurgeon in China …

Little data exists comparing endoscopic endonasal approaches to pathology of the anterior
skull base with more traditional transcranial and transsphenoidal microscopic approaches …

Craniopharyngiomas are locally aggressive tumors which typically are focused in the sellar
and suprasellar region near a number of critical neural and vascular structures mediating …

BACKGROUND The optimal therapeutic approach for adult craniopharyngioma remains
controversial. Some advocate for gross total resection (GTR), while others advocate for …

Object The majority of pediatric craniopharyngiomas are treated using a transcranial
approach. Although there is an increasing acceptance of transsphenoidal resection in …
