Three patients are described in whom surgical removal of a craniopharyngioma was followed by extreme hyperphagia resulting in obesity and abnormal food-seeking behavior, including foraging for food, stealing food or stealing money for food. These behaviors resemble those seen in the Prader-Willi syndrome but contrast with those noted in bulimia. This deviant behavior was a major factor in the poor outcome of surgery. Attempts at rehabilitation were unsuccessful.
本文描述了三名患者，他们在接受颅咽管瘤手术切除后出现极度贪食，导致肥胖和异常的觅食行为，包括搜寻食物、偷食物或偷钱买食物。这些行为类似于普拉德-威利综合征中所见的行为，但与神经性贪食症中所观察到的行为形成对比。这种异常行为是手术效果不佳的主要因素。康复尝试均未成功。
