Abstract:

Objective    To explore the operative approach in microsurgical treatment of craniopharyngioma and to evaluate its effects. Methods   Clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, surgical approaches, tumor resection extent and follow-up data of 59 cases of craniopharyngioma were retrospectively analyzed. Results    43 cases of tumors were totally removed, and 16 subtotally removed. No patients died. After 5 months to 3 years of follow-up, 3 cases of recurrence were found. The symptoms and signs in the 50 patients were improved in different degrees. Conclusion    The interhemispheric approach is more safe and effective for removing craniopharyngioma.

Key words: Craniopharyngioma; Microsurgery; Operative approach; Interhemispheric approach
