Abstract
Craniopharyngiomas can be divided into sellar, prechiasmatic, retrochiasmatic and giant tumors. The initial approach to a craniopharyngioma should be an attempt at its removal. Only if surgical therapy fails to deal with the tumor should more conservative approaches utilizing radiotherapy be used. The use of intracystic injection of bleomycin in craniopharyngiomas has proven to be a valuable adjunct in helping to remove these tumors.Entities:
