Craniopharyngioma is a histologically benign and frequently cystic intracranial tumor. It may present aggressive behavior due to compression from nearby structures. Its therapeutic management is complicated because although surgery is the usual treatment of choice, it is not exempt of high morbidity and mortality and frequent tumor recurrence. In craniopharyngiomas with a significant cystic component,internal irradiation with radioactive isotopes is a therapeutic alternative to conventional treatments. We present the cases of four patients with cystic craniopharyngiomas who were treated with intracystic administration of 90Y-colloid, and their evolution after the treatment.
