Voluminous craniopharyngioma evolving since childhood revealed by a torticollis

Abstract

In case of a torticollis or a stature-weight growth delay in a child, it is always necessary to eliminate a cerebral tumor in the first place, especially a craniopharyngioma. We report the case of a 22-year-old patient with a large craniopharyngioma probably evolving since childhood and revealed by a torticollis associated with decreased visual acuity and a delayed growth and puberty.
