title: Diencephalic tumours presenting as behavioural problems in the workplace.
abstract: Two patients presented with histories of significant behavioural disturbance and deteriorated work performance. Subsequent investigations confirmed the presence of a craniopharyngioma and a prolactinoma. Occupational physicians should consider excluding organic pathology in employees with histories of an unexplained marked change in work performance and behaviour.
