OBJECTIVE
The pattern of edema caused by craniopharyngiomas and other common suprasellar masses could be useful for determining the differential diagnosis of lesions in this region. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the pattern of edema spread on MR images can be used in the
Two patients with craniopharyngioma presenting with the "optic tract edema sign" are described. This sign is seen in a majority of craniopharyngiomas and can be of help in the differentiation with other suprasellar masses such as pituitary adenomas, meningiomas, germinomas and lymphomas.
This report describes two cases of craniopharyngioma with perifocal edema. In both patients, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that the tumors occupied the suprasellar cistern, invaginated the floor of the 3rd ventricle and were tightly adherent to the ventricular
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of optic tract edema in the diagnosis of craniopharyngiomas.
METHODS
Preoperative magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of 49 patients (between May 1996 and March 2003) who had a diagnosis of parasellar masses were blindly reviewed by two
Hypophysial and hypothalamic dysfunction caused by craniopharyngioma is a serious problem despite the progress of surgical approaches and techniques. Perifocal edema induced by craniopharyngioma could be speculated as a potential factor resulting in pre- and post-operative hypophysial OBJECTIVE The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (adaCP). However, there is no evidence that the CTNNB1 mutation activates the target gene of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and it is unknown whether it affects the tumorigenesis
We report an 80-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with symptoms due to diabetes insipidus. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated a sellar/suprasellar cystic lesion with marginal enhancement and the thick pituitary stalk. The MR imaging depicted edema spreading along the optic
Intracystic bleomycin therapy has been proposed as a treatment for predominantly cystic craniopharyngioma. The risks of using this therapy, however, have not been clearly identified. The authors report on three children treated with intracystic bleomycin who developed initially mild symptoms during
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare condition in patients with craniopharyngioma following transsphenoidal surgery.A 56-year-old man who underwent transsphenoidal surgery for craniopharyngioma 26 d ago presented gradual headache and OBJECTIVE
We present the case of a patient treated for intracranial germ cell tumor in which elements of craniopharyngioma were found in the residual tumor mass.
RESULTS
A 17 year old patient presented with a history of secondary amenorrhea. She deteriorated with headache and left eyelid drop,
The results of ophthalmologic examinations of 50 children with craniopharyngiomas are analyzed. The condition was diagnosed on the basis of clinical examinations, roentgenography, angiography, brain scintigraphy, and computer-aided tomography. In 48 cases the diagnosis was confirmed by histologic
OBJECTIVE
Edema-like change along the optic tract commonly occurs in association with craniopharyngiomas. The aim of this study was to clarify whether it occurs in association with other common pituitary region tumors and to elucidate its mechanism as seen on MR images.
METHODS
Fifty patients with
Quality of life of craniopharyngioma patients can be severely impaired by derangement of hypothalamic function. A classification, taking into account preoperative hypothalamic damage, evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and correlating it with postoperative weight change is still missing
Radiation therapy is widely used as adjuvant or primary treatment modality of neoplastic lesions. Radiation therapy may cause an acute adverse effect such as brain edema, radiation necrosis, or delayed, for example, panhypopituitarism, vasculitis, and rare de-novo neoplasm development. However,
A rare case in presented of a patient with edema formation along the optic pathway, which was caused by metastatic suprasellar tumor mimicking craniopharyngioma. A 63-year-old female with visual disturbance, diabetes insipidus, and symptomatic panhypopituitarism was admitted to our hospital. CT
