Low concordance between surgical and radiological assessment of degree of resection and treatment-related hypothalamic damage: results of KRANIOPHARYNGEOM 2007.

Observed differences between surgical and neuroradiological estimation of risk factors in craniopharyngioma support the necessity of neuroradiological reference review to assure standards of quality. This could be established by central internet-based neuroradiological review in KRANIOPHARYNGEOM 2007. Standardization of surgical reports including specific assessment of tumor/damage location is recommended.
