What are the postoperative complications of craniopharyngioma surgery?

Hello, common postoperative complications of craniopharyngioma include diabetes insipidus, epilepsy, ulcers, and visual field defects—all of which are potential sequelae. Additionally, if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and irritates the esophagus or meninges, it may trigger aseptic meningitis. Therefore, strict postoperative monitoring is essential following craniopharyngioma surgery, and prompt treatment must be initiated when necessary. Patients should also remain vigilant for possible tumor recurrence; studies indicate that even after gross-total or near-total resection, there remains a risk of recurrence. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life.
