Endocrine manifestations of craniopharyngioma.

RATIONALE: Due to the proximity of craniopharyngiomas to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, most children and adolescents presenting with these tumors will exhibit significant endocrine dysfunction. After treatment, these impairments can become a major cause of morbidity and mortality.
