Objective: Pediatric patients with sellar masses such as craniopharyngioma (CP) or cyst of Rathke's pouch (CRP) frequently suffer disease- and treatment-related sequelae. We analyzed the impact and prognostic relevance of initial hydrocephalus (HY) and hypothalamic involvement (HI) on long-term survival and functional capacity (FC) in children with CP or CRP.
Subjects And Methods: Using retrospective analysis of patient records, presence of initial HY or HI was assessed in 177 pediatric patients (163 CP and 14 CRP).
