title: Treatment of craniopharyngiomas--the stereotactic approach in a ten to twenty-three years' perspective. I. Surgical, radiological and ophthalmological aspects.
abstract: A multi-modality treatment programme, where stereotactic methods were used preferentially, gave results in a consecutive series of craniopharyngiomas, not inferior to those reported after microsurgical removal. Fourty-two patients with a follow-up range of 10-23 years are reported.
