Background: Childhood-onset combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) has a wide spectrum of etiologies and genetic causes for congenital disease. We aimed to describe the clinical spectrum and genetic etiologies of CPHD in a single tertiary center and estimate the population-level incidence of congenital CPHD.
Methods: The retrospective clinical cohort comprised 124 CPHD patients (48 with congenital CPHD) treated at the Helsinki University Hospital (HUH) Children's Hospital between 1985 and 2018.

Craniopharyngioma remains a major challenge in daily clinical practice. The pathobiology of the tumor is still elusive, and there are no consensus or treatment guidelines on the optimal management strategy for this relatively rare tumor. However, recent technical and scientific advances, including genomic and radiomic profiling, innovation in surgical approaches, more precise radiotherapy protocols, targeted therapy, and restoration of lost functions all have the potential to significantly improve the outcome of patients with craniopharyngioma in the near future.

This study aimed to characterise the weight and growth of children with craniopharyngiomas and to analyse the role of the tumour location and growth pattern in the development of obesity and growth retardation in these children. We retrospectively analysed the records of 109 consecutive children with primary craniopharyngiomas. The patients were divided into two subgroups according to the location of the tumour: intrasellar (Group A); and the floor of the third ventricle (Group B).

Cushing's disease in children is not rare but in infants it is quite rare and an important medical condition needing proper line of investigations and management options. Craniopharyngioma as a cause of Cushing's disease is well reported and practical inference of the condition is of clinical importance. Craniopharyngioma generally affects children at 5 - 10 years of age and is rarely seen in infancy.

The factors that impact the long-term functional outcome for infants with brain tumor are unclear. The clinicopathologic features of all infant brain tumors occurring at our institution (1982-2005) were reexamined to explore the factors influencing prognosis. The details of the neuropathologic review are reported herein.
