Abstract

A 17-year-old boy with a history of frontal headaches who presented with decreased vision and bitemporal hemianopsia. He was found to have a large, heavily calcified sellar, suprasellar, and third ventricular mass, consistent with craniopharyngioma. He underwent endoscopic endonasal transtuberculum approach for resection of tumor with anatomical preservation of the pituitary gland and infundibulum. Postoperative MRI showed gross total resection. He was neurologically intact at the last follow-up.
