Abstract
The initial role of surgery in newly developed OPG is biopsy for tissue diagnosis and relief of the hydrocephalus, if present, followed by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy decreases or stabilizes the tumor size in most cases, leading to preservation of both visual and endocrinal functions. The most significant prognostic factor confirmed in this study was the age of the patient.
