Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pediatric patients with sellar masses such as craniopharyngioma (CP) or cyst of Rathke's pouch (CRP) frequently suffer disease- and treatment-related sequelae. We analyzed the impact and prognostic relevance of initial hydrocephalus (HY) and hypothalamic involvement (HI) on long-term survival and functional capacity (FC) in children with CP or CRP. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Using retrospective analysis of patient records, presence of initial HY or HI was assessed in 177 pediatric patients (163 CP and 14 CRP). Twenty-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), FC, and BMI were analyzed with regard to initial HY, degree of resection, or HI. RESULTS Of the 177 patients, 105 patients (103/163 CP and 2/14 CRP) presented with initial HY and 96 presented with HI. HY at diagnosis was associated (P=0.000) with papilledema, neurological deficits, and higher BMI at diagnosis and during follow-up. OS, PFS, and FC were not affected by HY at initial diagnosis. HI at diagnosis (96/177) had major negative impact on long-term prognosis. Sellar masses with HI were associated with lower OS (0.84±0.04; P=0.021), lower FC (P=0.003), and higher BMI at diagnosis and last follow-up (P=0.000) when compared with sellar masses without HI (OS: 0.94±0.05). PFS was not affected by HI or degree of resection. CONCLUSIONS Initial HY has no impact on outcome in patients with sellar masses. OS and FC are impaired in survivors presenting with initial HI. PFS is not affected by HY, HI, or degree of resection. Accordingly, gross-total resection is not recommended in sellar masses with initial HI to prevent further hypothalamic damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe obesity due to hypothalamic involvement has major impact on prognosis in long-term survivors of childhood craniopharyngioma. The long-term effects of rehabilitation efforts on weight development and obesity in these patients are not analyzed up to now. PATIENTS AND METHODS 108 patients with childhood craniopharyngioma recruited in HIT Endo before 2001 were included in the study. Long-term weight development (BMI SDS after >10 yrs follow-up) was analyzed in regard to rehabilitation, which was performed in 31 of 108 (29%) patients (one rehabilitation in 4 patients (13%), more than one in 21 patients (68%), 6 patients unknown) in 13 German rehabilitation -clinics. RESULTS 84% of patients underwent rehabilitation in order to reduce hypothalamic obesity (BMI>+ 2 SD), whereas 12% of patients were normal weight. Childhood craniopharyngioma pa-tients with rehabilitation presented with higher BMI at diagnosis (median BMI: +1.32 SD; range: -1.08 to + 7.00 SD) and at last evaluation (median BMI: +4.93 SD; range: -0.20 to + 13.13 SD) when compared with patients without rehabilitation (median BMI at diagnosis: +0.24 SD; range: -2.67 to + 6.98 SD; BMI at evaluation: +2.09 SD; range: -1.48 to + 10.23 SD). A long-term weight reducing effect of rehabilitation was no detectable regardless of degree of obesity, frequency of rehabilitation, and hospital of rehabilitation. CONCLUSION Treatment options for hypothalamic obesity in terms of rehabilitation are limited. Accordingly, strategies for prevention of hypothalamic lesions and psychosocial effects of rehabilitation are currently in focus for improvement of prognosis in childhood craniopharyngioma patients.
