Popis: We report a case of vasospasm complicating delayed pituitary necrosis after craniopharyngioma resection in an 18-year old female. This is the first reported case that utilizes aggressive blood pressure management, fluid optimization, and rheologic doses of mannitol to successfully treat severe symptomatic vasospasm.
