Craniopharyngioma accounts for approximately 1.2% to 4.6% of all intracranial tumours. Their close proximity to vital structures such as the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and optic apparatus makes them one of the most challenging and controversial management dilemmas in neurosurgery. Recurrence following initial transcranial resection is reported as 9% to 51% at a median time of 26 months to 96 months. Treatment options for recurrent craniopharyngioma include repeat surgery, radiotherapy, radiosurgery and intracystic therapies. We present a series of 54 recurrent craniopharyngiomas treated at The Royal Melbourne Hospital between 1991 and 2008 and discuss the management options now available. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
