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

Although rare, craniopharyngiomas constitute up to 80% of tumours in the hypothalamic–
pituitary region in childhood. Despite being benign, the close proximity of these tumours to …

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 …

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

Object Optimal treatment of primary and recurrent craniopharyngiomas remains
controversial. Radical resection and limited resection plus radiation therapy yield similar …

Object The authors report the results of surgery alone or in combination with radiotherapy in
the management of craniopharyngiomas in children. Methods The authors retrospectively …

PURPOSE: To analyze the outcomes of gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for
residual or recurrent craniopharyngiomas and evaluate the factors that optimized the tumor …

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 …

Childhood craniopharyngioma is a rare and slow growing brain tumour, often located in the
sellar and suprasellar region. It commonly manifests with visual impairment, increased …
