Abstract
The criteria by which the operative approaches to craniopharyngioma are chosen are still controversial. The authors performed a retrospective analysis in 32 patients with craniopharyngioma who were surgically treated. Results of neurological and psychological tests administered during the follow-up period were correlated with the surgical approach. On the basis of these preliminary data and a maximum follow-up period of 10 years, the authors conclude that the subfrontal approach to the craniopharyngioma and partial removal of its solid part appears to be associated with a lower morbidity rate and minor frontal lobe disorders.
