Fig. 1 Preoperative (A: sagittal, B: coronal) and postoperative (C: sagittal, D: coronal) postgadolinium T1-weighted MRI of a retrochiasmatic craniopharyngioma removed via an endoscopic endonasal approach. Gross total resection was achieved. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.

Fig. 2 (A) Intraoperative endoscopic view of the tumor (T) being dissected from the undersurface of the optic chiasm (OC) and left optic nerve (ON). (B) View of the resection bed after total removal of the tumor. 3V, third ventricle; CA, cerebral aqueduct; Hyp, hypothalamus.
