Craniopharyngioma resection and aneurysm clipping performed simultaneously by pure endoscopic endonasal approach: A case report and literature review

Summary:Craniopharyngioma is one of the most challenging issues for neurosurgeons as a brain tumor. Among the approaches of neurosurgery, in comparison to craniotomy, the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has risen in popularity over the last two decades; unruptured intracranial aneurysms are relatively commonly found in the general population. The EEA as a new paradigm in the treatment of aneurysm has been reported to successfully clip dozens of cases of intracranial aneurysm. However, when reviewing the domestic and foreign literature, it appeared that cases of craniopharyngioma complicated with intracranial aneurysm purely treated by EEA have not been reported so far. In the present study, the published literature regarding endoscopic endonasal surgery for craniopharyngioma and intracranial aneurysms was reviewed, accompanied with a case of craniopharyngioma complicated with intracranial aneurysm, both of which were simultaneously treated by EEA. Key words: craniopharyngioma, aneurysm, endoscopic endonasal approach
