Nordic survey on practice of neurosurgical management of craniopharyngioma in children
The practice of neurosurgical management of pediatric CP in the Nordic countries is characterized by relatively low case volumes, differing management strategies, as well as varying degrees of centralization and collaboration between pediatric and adult neurosurgeons. Although some practical aspects may be unique for healthcare practised in the Nordic countries, the results of this survey and, in particular, the embedded discussion of centralization - either restricted to surgery or including complete management of pediatric CP - seem relevant and may provide useful insights also to neurosurgeons outside of the Nordics.
