dc.description.abstractCraniopharyngiomas are histologically benign tumors that originate from squamous rests along the pituitary stalk. They make up approximately 1.2% to 4.6% of all intracranial tumors and do not show significant differences in occurrence based on sex. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas have 2 peaks of incidence, commonly observed in patients from ages 5 to 15 years and again from 45 to 60 years. In contrast, papillary craniopharyngiomas mainly affect adults in their fifth and sixth decades of life.1 The malignancy of craniopharyngiomas is attributed to their location and the challenges associated with achieving complete removal because they can manifest in the sellar, parachiasmatic, and intraventricular regions or a combination of these.2,3 Various approaches have been used to resect these tumors.4,5 Radical resection offers the most promising option for disease control, potential cure, and the ability to transform the disease from lethal to survivable in children, allowing for a functional adult life.2,3 Meticulous evaluation is crucial to determine the appropriate approach and side, with particular emphasis on closely examining the relationship between the tumor and optic pathways (nerve, chiasm, tract), which are frequently involved. This assessment should also include the tumor's relationship with other crucial structures, such as the hypothalamus and adjacent arteries, to ensure that the strategy is adjusted accordingly to further minimize the risk of postoperative morbidity.
