Objective. Craniopharyngioma is a rare tumour, and, consequently, acute clinical presentation and diagnosis, during pregnancy, of this pathology are quite difficult to find. Only few cases are reported in the literature, and no one describes these two conditions in association. Methods. We report a particular case of craniopharyngioma presenting both of the above conditions. Results. The patient was successfully operated with endoscopic technique. Conclusions. Rare and difficult cases, created by the superposition of different clinical conditions, need multidisciplinary management, with collaboration, integration, and cooperation between different medical specialists.
目的。颅咽管瘤是一种罕见肿瘤,因此在孕期出现这种疾病的急性临床表现及诊断很难被发现。文献中仅报道了少数病例,且无人描述这两种情况同时出现的情形。方法。我们报告了一例同时出现上述两种情况的颅咽管瘤特殊病例。结果。该患者通过内镜技术成功接受了手术。结论。由不同临床情况叠加导致的罕见且棘手的病例,需要多学科管理,不同医学专家之间要进行协作、整合与合作。
