title: Large craniopharyngioma extending to the posterior cranial fossa.
abstract: Craniopharyngiomas are most commonly located extra-axially in the sellar or suprasellar area. They are benign but aggressive neoplasms. This paper reports an 8-year-old girl with a large craniopharyngioma originating from the suprasellar region and extending to the posterior cranial fossa down to the region of the foramen magnum.
