Craniopharyngioma

Craniopharyngiomas are benign brain tumors that develop near the pituitary gland and can cause pituitary hormonal dysfunction, visual loss, and headaches. The initial treatment for craniopharyngiomas is surgical removal that is as safe as possible. Luckily, many patients can have craniopharyngiomas removed through a keyhole approach through the nose using an endoscopic endonasal approach or a brow craniotomy.
