    The study analyzed MRI features of craniopharyngiomas in 68 patients, comparing adult and juvenile groups.

  • 2

    Juvenile patients had a higher incidence of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (85%) compared to adults (56.3%).

  • 3

    Tumors in juveniles were primarily in the intrasellar/suprasellar region, while adults predominantly had suprasellar tumors.

  • 4

    Cystic degeneration was more common in adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas, with 95.5% in ACP versus 83.3% in SPCP.

  • 5

    Age at onset correlates with MRI features, indicating that younger patients may have different invasive growth patterns.
