Craniopharyngioma

Craniopharyngioma is a rare benign epithelial tumor originating in the pituitary gland or pituitary gland and developing in the sellar and/or suprasellar region. Although benign and extracerebral, this tumor remains a serious pathology because of the frequent visual, endocrine and neuro-intellectual sequelae and the risk of recurrence. However, great progress has been made in surgery, radiotherapy and medical management of this disease, transforming a previously reserved prognosis.
