Craniopharyngiomas are uncommon benign, sellar or suprasellar neoplasms of congenital origin. The brain scan pattern in craniopharyngioma consists of an abnormal accumulation of radioactivity arising from the sellar region and extending superiorly. This lesion will be more often detected by multiple views. When the brain scan is analyzed concomitantly with skull roentgenograms, other diagnostic possibilities can usually be eliminated.
