Intraventricular craniopharyngioma

Neurosurgery Section and the Radiology Service, Veterans Administration Hospital, Long Beach, and the Division of Neurological Surgery, University of California, Irvine.

An unusual case of an adult with a craniopharyngioma within the third ventricle is reported. The patient complained of headaches, had a history suggestive of diabetes insipidus, and presented with a severe dementia. A brain scan revealed the suprasellar midline lesion, and a pneumoencephalogram confirmed its location within the third ventricle. Therapy included partial surgical excision, followed by a ventriculoatrial shunt and radiation.
