Pediatric craniopharyngioma is typically characterized by cystic changes and calcifications. It can grow from the suprasellar area to the posterior fossa (4%). This work reports that it is very rare for craniopharyngioma to grow from the suprasellar area to or beyond the level of the foramen magnum. Twelve patients with this disease have undergone one or several microsurgeries, and the microsurgical approaches are different. Among them, two cases died, and most of the remaining patients had certain complications such as endocrine dysfunction, nerve palsy, and subdural effusion. We treated two patients whose tumors had grown to the level of the foramen magnum, one of which reached C2 levels. Both cases were treated with a neuroendoscopy. There were no deaths and no complications. Our cases are the longest follow-up of this type of craniopharyngioma.
