USMLE First Aid - Brain Tumor, Craniopharyngioma, Pathophysiology/Diagnosis/Signs/Symptom/Management

In this medical case discussion, we explore a 10-year-old boy presenting with short stature and peripheral vision difficulties. Lab tests reveal low TSH, and an MRI shows a suprasellar cystic, calcified mass—classic for craniopharyngioma. 🔍 Key Topics Covered: Differential diagnosis of suprasellar masses (optic gliomas, pituitary adenomas, meningiomas) Causes of short stature (endocrine disorders, malabsorption syndromes, genetic conditions) Embryological origin of craniopharyngiomas (Rathke’s pouch remnants) Clinical manifestations (growth hormone deficiency, visual disturbances, diabetes insipidus) Diagnostic tools (MRI, CT, pituitary axis testing) Treatment options (surgery, radiotherapy) Complications (cavernous sinus thrombosis, cranial nerve palsies) 📚 Relevant for: Medical students, pediatricians, endocrinologists, neurologists, and anyone preparing for USMLE or board exams! 💬 Have questions or case suggestions?
