Abstract: We report the case of an 11-year-old girl who presents a huge sellar and suprasellar craniopharyngioma with cystic extension towards the two temporal fossae laterally, encompassing the two Sylvian arteries, towards the third ventricle and the frontal lobe above, towards the mesencephalon and the posterior cerebral fossa behind. The patient was successfully operated on but presented with panhypopituitarism post-op due to the sacrifice of the pituitary stalk which was invaded by the tumor.
