Abstract
Case report

A 38-year-old female, at 20-weeks gestation, experienced a sudden visual loss and visual-field abnormalities. The neuroimaging tests showed a craniopharyngioma. Surgical removal was performed with a successful outcome as regards the pregnancy and visual function.

Discussion

It is known that pituitary adenomas may grow during pregnancy; however this is unusual in craniopharyngiomas. They usually present with visual problems due to their suprasellar topography. Surgery is the treatment of choice, the outcome essentially depending on its complete resection.

Keywords:
Craniopharyngioma
Visual field abnormalities
Optic chiasm
Craniopharyngioma in pregnancy
Resumen
Caso clínico

Gestante de 38 años, acude a urgencias por déficit visual agudo y afectación campimétrica. Las pruebas de neuroimagen ponen de manifiesto una tumoración compatible con craneofaringioma. Se realiza la resección quirúrgica mejorando la función visual y continuando su embarazo normalmente.

Discusión

Es conocido que los adenomas hipofisarios pueden crecer en el embarazo, sin embargo este hecho es inusual en los craneofaringiomas. Estos suelen manifestarse con clínica visual dada su topografía supraselar. El tratamiento de elección es quirúrgico, dependiendo el pronóstico fundamentalmente de su resección completa.
