Intraventricular craniopharyngioma. Clinical and surgical considerations.
The authors present two cases of craniopharyngioma wholly located within the cavity of the third ventricle. The rarity of this condition is outlined. In these cases the computed tomography is not always sufficient to determine the correct surgical approach; therefore the Authors stress the importance of the clinical findings.
