Background: Craniopharingioma patients frequently experience severe obesity, unresponsive to caloric restriction or lifestyle modifications. Recently very-low-ketogenic-diets (VLCKD) proved to be a promising lifestyle intervention for obesity management, but no data are available regarding their effect on hypothalamic obesity (HO).Introduction: We present the outcome of VLCKD protocol applied in young patients with HO following neurosurgery for craniopha...

Rationale: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNets) are aggressive in 20% of cases, with local invasion, relapse/scarce response to conventional treatment, in the absence of reliable predictive parameters. In 2018, Trouillas et al. proposed a 5-tier prognostic classification, not widely validated yet. In our study we evaluated the outcomes of a PitNets monocentric series in the context of this classification.Materials & Methods: We retrospe...
