Spontaneous Resolution of Radiotherapy-induced Craniopharyngioma Cyst
Mario Teo, Fiona Cowie, Paul Fivey, Jerome St.George
TL;DR
An 8-year-old girl's craniopharyngioma cyst, which grew after radiotherapy, spontaneously resolved without further treatment.
Contribution
This case highlights that cystic enlargement after radiotherapy may not always require intervention.
Findings
Cystic enlargement occurred after radiotherapy in a craniopharyngioma patient.
The cyst spontaneously resolved with close monitoring.
This suggests that not all post-radiotherapy enlargements indicate treatment failure.
Abstract
Craniopharyngioma cyst enlargement after surgery and radiation therapy is often presumed to represent a treatment failure, instigating further management strategies. We present an eight-year-old girl with a small intrasellar residuum post-resection who then developed cystic enlargement post-radiotherapy. With close surveillance, the cyst spontaneously resolved.
