Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In this chapter, we focus on a subgroup of craniopharyngioma (CP) in which the main tumor body is located exclusively in the suprasellar subarachnoid cisternal space around the pituitary stalk (PS) and there is no third ventricle involvement. Notably, the cases of CP reported in this chapter were not clearly defined in previous literature. The main reason for the confusion regarding this type of CP might be the lack of uniform criteria for evaluating the relationship between the tumor and third ventricle walls. The terminology “suprasellar extraventricular CP,” which is used in previous literature, might be another term for the cases described in this chapter; however, this term does not truly reflect the tumor origin and location.
