The influence of tumor topography on the surgical outcome of craniopharyngiomas

CONCLUSIONS: The tumor topography can influence the postoperative outcome. RCPs can be associated with a higher incidence of hypopituitarism and hypothalamic morbidities postoperatively. The influence of topography on EOR and tumor recurrence is controversial. However, this study did not find a significant difference in EOR and tumor recurrence between RCPs and non-RCPs. PFS and overall mortality are also comparable.PMID:37119112 | DOI:10.3171/2023.3.JNS222302
