Treatment of craniopharyngiomas ― The stereotactic approach in a ten to twenty-three years' perspective. I: Surgical, radiological and ophthalmological aspects

A multi-modality treatment programme, where stereotactic methods were used preferentially, gave results in a consecutive series of craniopharyngiomas, not inferior to those reported after microsurgical removal. Fourty-two patients with a follow-up range of 10-23 years are reported.
