We reported an infrasellar craniopharyngioma involving the sphenoid sinus and clivus in a 16‑year‑old girl, and discussed the clinical features and management of this tumor.
The reported overall 10‑year disease‑free survival rate for craniopharyngiomas ranges from 60% to 96%.[5] However, this is based purely on patients with suprasellar craniopharyngiomas because of the lack of reported cases of entirely infrasellar craniopharyngiomas. It is, therefore, not possible to predict the prognosis of infrasellar craniopharyngiomas. The patient has been following‑up with serial scans closely.
