RESUMO
A 27-year-old woman in the second trimester of pregnancy presented with bitemporal hemianopsia. Total resection of a craniopharyngioma restored normal vision, and she delivered a normal infant at term. Permanent hormonal replacement therapy was not needed. Subsequent spontaneous pregnancy and delivery indicate that fertility was preserved. Literature review shows this case to be unique. Even with new developments in stereotactic radiotherapy, total excision remains a potentially achievable surgical goal.
