The treatment ranges from radical excision to direct radiotherapy. As the morbidity of excision is high, more conservative approaches are used. Transventricular endoscopy is a minimally invasive treatment for cystic craniopharyngiomas. The objective of this study is to compare the outcome of microscopic versus endoscopic transventricular approach for cystic craniopharyngioma.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>\n<jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\u2003This is a retrospective study of series of children managed with microscopic excision and endoscopic transventricular approach for suprasellar cystic craniopharyngiomas. Operative details, visual outcome, endocrinological outcome, tumor-related cyst recurrence rate, and complication were compared between microscopic and endoscopic groups.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>\n<jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2003A total of 28 children underwent microscopic excision and 14 children underwent endoscopic procedure. The anesthesia time was significantly lower with endoscopic as compared to microscopic group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001) as well as blood loss during surgery (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001). Hospital stay after surgery was shorter in endoscopic group. Incidence of diabetes insipidus was more in microscopic group (25%) compared to endoscopic group (7.14%). Visual outcome was almost same with approaches. Requirement of hormone replacement was more in microscopic group than in endoscopic group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.006). Incidence of cyst recurrence was more in microscopic (39.3%) compared to endoscopic group (7.7%).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>\n<jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\u2003Endoscopic transventricular approach is a safe alternative for initial treatment of suprasellar cystic craniopharyngioma in children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1722839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]],"date-time":"2021-04-06T09:33:44Z","timestamp":1617701624000},"page":"343-349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Management Options for Suprasellar Cystic Craniopharyngioma: Endoscopic Transventricular Approach and Microsurgical Approach"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Subhas K.","family":"Konar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akshay V.","family":"Kulkarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dhaval","family":"Shukla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tejesh","family":"Misra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bhagavatula Indira","family":"Devi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sameer","family":"Peer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroimaging and Interventional Radiology, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vivek","family":"Lanka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroimaging and Interventional Radiology, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"10.1055\/s-0041-1722839\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0034-1368785","article-title":"Childhood craniopharyngioma - changes of treatment strategies in the trials KRANIOPHARYNGEOM 2000\/2007","volume":"226","author":"Hoffmann","year":"2014","journal-title":"Klin Padiatr"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.1055\/s-0041-1722839\/ref-2","first-page":"193","article-title":"Childhood craniopharyngioma.
