Abstract
Management of childhood craniopharyngioma remains controversial. Aggressive primary surgery is associated with an increased risk of severe obesity, but hypothalamus-sparing surgery might increase the need for reoperation and/or irradiation. Nevertheless, hypothalamus-sparing strategies decreased occurrence of obesity—a risk factor for impaired quality of life—without increasing recurrence rates in a new study.Entities:
