Background: The Craniopharyngioma service in our centre has changed since 2005 with a standardised preoperative assessment and a new approach to surgery and use of radiotherapy. We review the subsequent outcomes.Treatment strategy: Preoperative endocrinology: prior to dexamethasone therapy: standard dose short synacthen test (SST), thyroid function test (TFT), IGF1, LH, FSH, testosterone/oestradiol±GH stimulation test. Staging: MRI and tumour stagin...

Background: BoneXpert software calculates bone health index (BHI) from 100 measurements of cortical thickness and mineralisation of three metacarpals. BHI-SDS is derived from 3,121 X-rays from 231 healthy Caucasian children, corrected for bone age (BA), estimated from the same x-ray.BHI-SDS is new with relatively unknown clinical utility. Strong correlations between BHI and dual-energy x-ray (DXA) absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed CT me...
