Changes in pituitary comorbidities of adult-onset craniopharyngioma depending on date of diagnosis

Abstract

Conclusion We found significantly less post-operative pituitary insufficiencies and visual field defects in patients diagnosed after 1997. This might be a consequence of improved surgical approach. Furthermore, differences in tumor extension could be due to improvements in diagnostics and earlier treatment of craniopharyngioma. 1 Medizinische Klinik und Poliklinik IV, Klinikum der Universitat Munchen, Ziemssenstr. 1, 80336 Munchen (Munich, Germany) 2 Max-Planck-Institut fur Psychiatrie, Kraepelinstrase 2-10, 80804 Munchen (Munich, Germany)
