Sleep disturbances in craniopharyngioma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Craniopharyngioma is a rare, parasellar tumor of low histological malignancy (WHO grade 1) arising from remnants of the Rathke pouch, which can disrupt hypothalamic modulation. Sleep disturbances, including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), are commonly reported in patients with craniopharyngioma, although findings have been inconsistent.
