Repeated hemorrhage in ciliated craniopharyngioma : Case Report
2000
A 49-year-old female presented with a ciliated craniopharyngioma manifesting as repeated intratumoral hemorrhage. Histological examination suggested that the hemorrhage originated from the many thin blood vessels in the cyst wall stroma associated with inflammation. Symptomatic hemorrhage in cystic craniopharyngioma may mimic pituitary apoplexy but the etiology is quite different. Minor hemorrhage may recur unless the cyst wall is totally removed.
