  • Title: [Excessive growth and growth hormone deficiency after treatment for craniopharyngioma].
    Author: López Siguero JP, García García E, Martínez-Aedo MJ, Martínez Valverde A.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 2000 Jul; 53(1):64-6. PubMed ID: 10998409.
    Abstract:
    Some children grow normally or excessively after extirpation of a craniopharyngioma, despite growth hormone deficiency. We report a 4-year-old girl with suprasellar craniopharyngioma. Removal of the tumor resulted in panhypopituitarism. For the next 5 years growth continued at a rate of 8.4-10.6 cm/year and then decreased progressively to 1.2 cm/year. Administration of growth hormone increased growth rate to 9.3 cm/year.
