Craniopharyngiomas
Abstract:
A review has been carried out of those patients with a craniopharyngioma who were treated initially in our institution and had a microsurgical excision of their tumour during the period of time when newer and sophisticated modalities of investigation and treatment were available. Twenty-nine patients with craniopharyngioma were treated initially by microsurgical excision of their tumour at the Hospital for Sick Children from January 1976 to June 1985. In 21 a total removal of the tumour was performed, and there has been no clinical evidence of recurrence. No deaths were recorded in any of the 29 patients. The principal morbidity has resulted from endocrine deficits that these patients exhibit.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
