Narcolepsy, Sleep, CraniopharyngiomaAbstract
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder of sleep characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness and has been reported following the removal of a craniopharyngioma due to a host of neurological and endocrinological causative factors. We present here a case of a child that developed secondary narcolepsy following resection of a craniopharyngioma.
