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 The craniopharyngioma is a benign intracranial nonglial tumor derived from a malformation of the embryonic tissue. Represents approximately 6-9% of brain tumors in children. It grows close to the optic nerve, hypothalamus and pituitary. The most frequent histological variety in children is
Craniopharyngiomas are benign but locally invasive tumours of the sellar region that arise from ectopic embryonic remnants of Rathke's pouch, affecting both children (adamantinomatous type -aCP) and adults (papillary type -pCP) and associated with significant We studied the clinical presentation by age of 36 children with craniopharyngioma, and outcome by height and body mass index (BMI). Presenting symptoms included headache (51.4%), vomiting (31%), visual disturbances (22.9%), polyuria and/or polydipsia (17.1%), delayed puberty (19.4%), short stature
An 8-year-old boy presented complaining principally of headache and vomiting. A single large cystic lesion extending from the suprasellar region to the ventral brainstem was identified, and total extirpation was performed via a right orbitozygomatic, transtemporal transchoroidal fissure approach.
Although postoperative nausea and vomiting and pain after supra- and infratentorial craniotomy have been evaluated in multiple studies, there are few data regarding pain or postoperative nausea and vomiting after transsphenoidal procedures. Therefore, we reviewed the perioperative records of 877
We report the clinical significance of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) notching on the optic nerve and chiasm in a 3.5-year-old girl with a craniopharyngioma and progressive blindness. She presented with a headache and vomiting, followed by binocular blindness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Debate continues as to the optimal treatment for craniopharyngioma; radical surgical resection or partial resection followed by radiotherapy. Radical surgical resection may be complicated by intraoperative injury to surrounding structures and stormy postoperative hormonal problems. A case of coexisting moyamoya disease and craniopharyngioma in an 8-year-old boy is reported. The patient had been suffering from recurrence of transient right hemiparesis with headache and vomiting during the three years before admission. After the diagnosis of both moyamoya disease and
BACKGROUND
A 14-year-old boy presented with daytime somnolence, intermittent emesis and hypothyroidism. Neuroimaging revealed a calcified suprasellar intracranial mass, suspected to be a craniopharyngioma. Subtotal resection of the tumor confirmed the diagnosis. Extreme obesity (BMI >60 kg/m(2)) and
BACKGROUND
Craniopharyngiomas are rare intracranial tumors commonly presenting with neurological symptoms. Reports of severe hyponatremia as a presenting manifestation of a craniopharyngioma and hyponatremia-induced myopathy are rare. We report the case of a patient with craniopharyngioma presenting
We aimed to study the occurrence of acute-onset symptoms at initial presentation in a national Danish cohort of patients with childhood- or adult-onset craniopharyngioma, and to investigate potential risk factors for acute presentation. Medical records of 189 consecutive patients (39 children, 150
Craniopharyngioma, often with cystic diliatation, is difficult to resect radically. Fifty patients with huge craniopharyngioma (diameter of tumor was over 5 cm) treated with intratumoral irradiation of radioactive isotopes (32P and 90Y) through CT-guided Leksell stereotactic system are reported. The
The endocrine sequelae of 62 children with craniopharyngioma were studied retrospectively. These patients were followed for a median duration of 3 years (range 1 to 10 years). Eighteen patients had a long-term follow-up for more than 5 years (range 5 to 10 years). Complete surgical resection was
The authors report an unusual case of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma occurring in isolation in the cerebellopontine angle of a 12-year-old female. The patient presented with a 1-year history of nausea, vomiting, and headache. MRI revealed a left cerebellopontine angle tumor without connection to
