  • Title: Recurrent craniopharyngioma with nasopharyngeal extension.
    Author: Taguchi Y, Tanaka K, Miyakita Y, Sekino H, Fujimoto M.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2000 Mar; 32(3):140-4. PubMed ID: 10867561.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 10-year-old boy having a recurrent craniopharyngioma with nasopharyngeal extension during a course of growth hormone therapy, in whom the nasopharyngeal craniopharyngioma was totally resected despite its extensive growth by using a transbasal approach. There has been no evidence of recurrence during 6 years of follow-up. A literature review was made with respect to nasopharyngeal extension of craniopharyngiomas, and the efficacy of the transbasal approach for those tumors is discussed.
