[Abstract] Some important brain tissues are around craniopharyngioma, including hypothalamus. Although craniopharyngioma is WHOⅠgrade tumor, it presents complicated effect on the adjacent brain tissues, including adherence and invasion. This behavior shows an important influence on the tumor treatment and patient prognosis. It is clinically important to identify the effect on the peritumoral brain tissues caused by the tumor in radiology. This paper is to briefly overview the radiological research status on the tumor behavior.
