Abstract
Surgical removal plays an important role in treating children’s craniopharyngioma. For a safe and minimally invasive craniotomy, a reformed surgical modality was proposed in this paper by combining the insertion of an Ommaya reservoir system (ORS) by stereotactic puncture, aspiration of cystic fluid in 2-day interval for consecutive 7–10 days, and the delayed tumor resection.Keywords
