Most patients present with hypopituitarism and visual disturbances. We report the first ever case of a CPG with abscess in a pediatric patient. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Case Report:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A 10-year-old girl presented with visual deterioration and bitemporal hemianopia. Her CT and MRI brain suggested of a sellar-suprasellar CPG. Due to ill-developed sino-nasal anatomy, a transcranial approach was made for the lesion. The lesion was well capsulated, thick walled, and appeared inflamed. Upon incising the wall, thick yellowish pus was drained out in a controlled manner. This was followed by a partial resection of the CPG wall and eccentric, adhered, calcified residue was left behind with an Ommaya drain. The abscess culture grew &lt;i&gt;Enterococcus species&lt;\/i&gt; and histopathology revealed adamantinomatous CPG. Patient underwent culture sensitive antibiotics course followed by radiation for the residue. She was doing well at 1-year follow-up with clinical and radiological improvement. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; This is the first report of a pediatric case with secondary abscess in CPG. Operative management of such a case includes controlled drainage of pus without dissemination into the surrounding arachnoid space. The tumor and abscess have to be addressed as separate surgical entities; infection control and wherever complete resection is not feasible, partial safe resection followed by radiotherapy is a viable option. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000523977","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T22:00:32Z","timestamp":1646863232000},"page":"191-195","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Sella Bugged!
