Craniopharyngioma and the moustache sign

D Kearney et al. Australas Radiol. 1993 Nov.

Abstract

Craniopharyngiomas are common suprasellar tumours but these are rarely associated with vasogenic oedema. Because the oedema extends into the optic tracts and optic radiations, a characteristic pattern is produced that resembles a moustache. The oedema is though to be due to leakage of craniopharyngioma contents. Such a case is presented in this communication.
