After surgery for craniopharyngioma, there is a low rate of total excision recurrence (there are no statistics on this) and a rate of secondary total excision recurrence of 70% or more. Craniopharyngiomas are slow-growing benign tumors located in the saddle or parasaddle region. Its onset is relatively insidious and often occurs in children. Its treatment is mainly based on surgery and radiotherapy. Since there are important brain function areas next to the craniopharyngioma, it is difficult to operate, and the pursuit of the operation is to carry out a total resection while preserving the function of important brain structures as much as possible. The recurrence rate of craniopharyngioma is very low after total resection, but in case of subtotal resection, the recurrence rate is as high as more than 70%. If postoperative radiotherapy is performed, the ten-year control rate increases further. Therefore, at present, the best treatment for craniopharyngioma is surgical resection plus radiotherapy. Patients with craniopharyngioma should follow the doctor’s instructions to actively cooperate with the treatment, and repeat the examination on time after surgery.
