[Craniopharyngioma: ophthalmological manifestations and prognosis after treatment].

Abstract

The craniopharyngioma is a benign tumor located at least in part in the suprasellar cistern. The symptoms are determined not only by the position of the tumor but also by its size and the age of the patient. The goal of our study is to analyse retrospectively the manifestations of craniopharyngioma and their prognosis after treatment in function of the age.
