Abstract
The authors review 48 cases of craniopharyngioma in children treated during 25 years, 1950 to 1975. Complete excision of the tumor, attempted in 23 patients, was possible in 17. The authors advocate aggressive treatment aimed at complete excision of the tumor, using radiotherapy only when adherence of the tumor to the internal carotid artery precludes total excision, and symptoms recur.Keywords
