Popis: |
Craniopharyngiomas are rare, benign tumors in the (supra)sellar region, occurring at any age, but with preponderance between 5-14 and 50-75 years. Because of their slow growth rate it may take years before the diagnosis is made. Symptoms are caused by compression of optic pathways and/or pituitary and hypothalamic dysfunction. Treatment usually consists of a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. Chances for survival are high (90% 10-years’ survival), but quality of life can be significantly diminished |
