Abstract
Transsphenoidal microsurgical removal is appropriate therapy for a significant number of craniopharyngiomas. Favorable factors for the transsphenoidal approach are enlargement of the sella, cystic lesion and preoperative hypopituitarism. A series of 76 operative cases is presented. Long-term follow-up revealed successful results in 81% of patients.Entities:
