| Video Discription | Craniopharyngioma: Keyhole Surgery Endoscopic Endonasal & Supraorbital Eyebrow Tumor Removal In this video, Dr. Daniel Kelly, Director of the Pacific Brain Tumor Center at Pacific Neuroscience Institute describes where craniopharyngiomas arise, the symptoms they produce and how they are best treated using endonasal endoscopic and keyhole surgical techniques, as well as the potential need for radiosurgery, radiotherapy and hormone replacement. Craniopharyngiomas are rare, benign tumors that develop in the region of the pituitary gland and its adjacent neural structures, particularly the optic nerves (nerves from the eye) and the hypothalamus (controlling regulatory functions of the body). These tumors can present with vision loss, double vision, hormone imbalance, headaches or other neurological problems. The best initial treatment for a craniopharyngioma is maximal surgical removal. Fortunately for most patients, craniopharyngiomas can be removed through a keyhole route via the nose using an endonasal endoscopic approach or a supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy. At the Pacific Brain Tumor Center, we have one of the world's largest experiences treating these tumors with endoscopic and keyhole approaches, as well as treating residual and recurrent craniopharyngiomas. By incorporating cutting edge technology and instrumentation with proven surgical experience, we make craniopharyngioma surgery safer, less invasive and more effective. Most patients with a craniopharyngioma will need some form of pituitary hormone replacement and a number of patients may need radiosurgery or focused radiotherapy to prevent tumor regrowth. Our neurosurgeons work closely with our endocrinologists and radiation oncologists to provide the best possible individualized care. pacificneuro.org | pacificbraintumor.org | 310-582-7450 |
