The authors review 48 cases of craniopharyngioma in children treated during 25 years, 1950 to 1975. Complete excision of the tumor, attempted in 23 patients, was possible in 17. The authors advocate aggressive treatment aimed at complete excision of the tumor, using radiotherapy only when adherence of the tumor to the internal carotid artery precludes total excision, and symptoms recur.
作者回顾了1950年至1975年这25年间治疗的48例儿童颅咽管瘤病例。23例患者尝试进行肿瘤全切除，其中17例成功。作者主张积极治疗，目标是完全切除肿瘤，仅在肿瘤与颈内动脉粘连无法完全切除且症状复发时才使用放疗。
