Consensus on endocrine management for children and adolescents with craniopharyngioma surgeries

doi:10.16352/j.issn.1001-6325.2024.05.0585

Abstract

Abstract: Craniopharyngioma is a rare benign tumor mainly occurs in the hypothalamus region of children. Patients may have a long survival after surgery. Tumors or operations may lead to hypothalamic syndrome, hypopituitarism, obesity, and a disturbed electrolytes metabolism. Multidisciplinary medical teams are required to conduct a long-term hormonal therapy and follow-up management. This consensus is aiming for providinge recommendations for perioperative management, obesity, hormonal replacement therapy, linear growth promotion and pubertal development for pediatric patients.

Key words: children and adolescents, craniopharyngioma, hypothalamic syndrome, hormonal replacement therapy, height promotion, pubertal development
