Long‐Term Outcomes in Pediatric Midfacial Growth Following Expanded Endonasal Skull Base Surgery for Craniopharyngioma.

This article discusses the long-term outcomes of midfacial growth in pediatric patients who underwent expanded endonasal skull base surgery for craniopharyngioma. The study compared the cephalometric measurements of patients who underwent the endoscopic approach with those who underwent an open transcranial approach. The results showed no significant difference in midfacial growth between the two groups, suggesting that the endoscopic approach is safe and efficacious for pediatric patients without concerns for long-term craniofacial growth. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to better understand the long-term clinical implications of pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery. [Extracted from the article]
