Abstract
Treatment of craniopharyngioma (CP) in childhood can lead to severe, debilitating obesity with devastating medical and psychological outcomes. Despite sustained nutritional and exercise-oriented interventions, no efficacious medical option is available for hypothalamic obesity. We describe two adolescents who developed morbid obesity and significant comorbidities following diagnosis and treatment of CP, in whom bariatric surgery was achieved, illustrating a novel approach for symptomatic hypothalamic obesity, as well as positive and negative outcomes.
