Figure 5 | MRI of childhood craniopharyngioma. MRI at diagnosis and 36 months after surgery in three cases of childhood craniopharyngioma with different grades of hypothalamic involvement and/or lesion are shown. Patient with craniopharyngioma confined to the intrasellar space: grade 0 hypothalamic involvement (part a); surgical lesion (part b). BMI at diagnosis: −1.96 SD; BMI 36 months after complete resection: −1.62 SD. Patient with craniopharyngioma involving the anterior hypothalamus: grade 1 hypothalamic involvement (part c); surgical lesion of the anterior hypothalamic area (part d). BMI at diagnosis: SD; BMI 36 months after complete resection: SD. Patient with craniopharyngioma involving the anterior and posterior hypothalamus: grade 2 hypothalamic involvement (part e); surgical lesion of the anterior and posterior hypothalamic area (part f). BMI at diagnosis: SD; BMI 36 months after complete resection: SD. Mammillary bodies define the border between anterior and posterior involvement and/or lesion. Part e and part f are adapted from Müller, H. L. et al., Post-operative hypothalamic lesions and obesity in childhood craniopharyngioma: results of the multinational prospective trial KRANIOPHARYNGEOM 2000 after 3-year follow-up. Eur. J.
