Sella bugged!!! - Abscess inside a Craniopharyngioma - Case report with literature review.

Conclusion This is the first report of a pediatric case with secondary abscess in craniopharyngioma. Operative management of such a case includes controlled drainage of pus without dissemination into the surrounding arachnoid space. The tumour and abscess have to be addressed as separate surgical entities; infection control and wherever complete resection is not feasible, partial safe resection followed by radiotherapy is a viable option.
