BACKGROUND: Craniopharyngiomas are the most common intracranial tumor of extraneural origin in childhood. REVIEW SUMMARY: In this review, we discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of craniopharyngioma. As the survival prognosis of patients with craniopharyngioma is quite optimistic, long-term side effects of both the tumor and its treatment are now better appreciated. Aside from well-recognized hormonal deficiencies and visual deficits related to tumor location, patients are now acknowledged to experience pathologic obesity and deficits of higher cortical function, memory, and behavior. The combination of these deficits can have profoundly detrimental effects on quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: Careful attention to issues related to hormonal balance, visual field defects, cognitive function, and mood disorders is essential to optimize long-term outcome of patients with craniopharyngioma.

Infrasellar craniopharyngioma is an uncommon neoplasm. Rarely, it presents with epistaxis. To date, 39 cases of infrasellar craniopharyngioma have been reported in the world literature. Involvement of the maxillary sinus has only been reported once. We report a second case exclusively involving the nasal cavity, ethmoid sinus and maxillary sinus. Excision was performed using a Denker's medial maxillectomy approach.
