Description
Craniopharyngioma is a benign tumor that is often associated with aggressive behavior leading to the impairment of several important/critical structures (pituitary gland, optic pathway, hypothalamus). Disorders caused by the tumor itself or its treatment manifest as serious complications (endocrinological, metabolic, neurological, ophthalmological, psychological). The book aims to present the issue of multidisciplinary care for patients with craniopharyngioma to the reader. It includes current findings from pathological anatomy, molecular biology, and radiology, an overview of neurosurgical procedures, and other treatment modalities (radiotherapy, pharmacotherapy). The clinical chapters provide insights from experts in the respective fields caring for patients with craniopharyngioma in childhood and adulthood. The book is primarily intended for endocrinologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons, but will also be useful for all medical professions that may be involved in the diagnosis and treatment of craniopharyngiomas.
