Delayed onset of generalized tonic-clonic seizures as a complication of halo orthosis. Case report.

abstract：OBJECT:The optimal approach for the surgical treatment of craniopharyngiomas is still debated. In all cases involving the sella turcica, the authors have exclusively used transsphenoidal surgery (TSS), assuming that this approach is less traumatic than an intracranial one. Moreover, TSS was also performed in some cases...
