What do I need to know about caring for someone with a craniopharyngioma?

When caring for someone with a craniopharyngioma, remember that the condition affects people emotionally as well as physically because it is located near the pituitary gland, which regulates hormones and emotions. Help them with tasks as needed, but encourage them to be independent. In addition, encourage people with a craniopharyngioma to follow treatments advised by their doctor. You can also teach your child healthy eating and exercise habits, especially if the craniopharyngioma has affected their metabolism.
