Craniopharyngiomas (CF) - a benign tumor of the embryologic origin. The surgical method of treatment is the basic.Objective: to estimate incidence of hypogonatropic hypogonadism before and after surgical treatment of CF at different topographical variations, and after the preservation of the pituitary stalk. Methods: The research involved 79 patients older than 18 years (41 women and 38 men) with a mean age - 40 [17; 69] with a ver...

Suprasellar craniopharyngiomas (CF) are characterised by a high incidence of involvement of the third ventricle, which determines the risk of hypothalamic obesity (HO). There are no unified diagnostic criteria for HO and its effective treatment. The assessment of pre- and postoperative hypothalamic damage is necessary for the choice of surgical strategy and early therapeutic intervention.Objective: To estimate the incidence and extent of weight gain in a...

Reset osmostat syndrome (ROS) is characterized by a change of normal plasma osmolality level (decrease or increase), which leads to chronic dysnatremia (hypo- or hypernatremia). We have described a Clinical case of ROS and chronic hyponatremia in a patient with chordoid glioma of the III ventricle. It is known that the patient had previously been diagnosed with hyponatremia (131-134 mmol/l). She has not hypothyroidism and hypocorticism. There is normal filtration function of t...
