Abstract
Pediatric craniopharyngioma is a rare tumor with excellent survival but significant long‐term morbidities due to the loco‐regional tumor growth or secondary to its treatment. Visual impairment, panhypopituitarism, hypothalamic damage, and behavioral changes are among the main challenges. This tumor should be managed under the care of a multidisciplinary team to determine the optimum treatment within the available resources. This is particularly important for low middle‐income countries where resources are variable. This report provides risk‐stratified management guidelines for children diagnosed with craniopharyngioma in a resource‐limited setting.
