SALAS MALLEA, Ariel; BURGOA MEDRANO, N. Claret y ROCHA FERNANDEZ, Corina. Craniopharyngioma, a case report. Rev. bol. ped. [online]. 2006, vol.45, n.2, pp.98-101. ISSN 1024-0675.
Craniopharyngioma represents approximately 6-10% of pediatric brain tumors. The clinical presentation of pediatric patients with craniopharyngioma consists of a broad spectrum of symptoms that range from asymptomatic to endocrine, visual, or psychological disorders. We describe a case of giant craniopharyngioma diagnosed by CT scan in a 35 months old child. He was referred and admitted to the hospital due to severe malnutrition.
