ABSTRACT

Source abstract

INTRODUCCIÓN: El craneofaringioma se caracteriza por manifestaciones clínicas derivadas de la compresión de estructuras del sistema nervioso central, deficiencias hormonales hipofisarias, así como obesidad. El objetivo fue identificar la frecuencia de obesidad y dislipidemia y sus factores de riesgo en pacientes pediátricos con craneofaringioma antes y después de la resección quirúrgica. MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo del año 2014 al 2023 en pacientes pediátricos craneofaringiomas evaluados antes de la cirugía y a los 12 meses posteriores. Se recopilaron datos antropométricos, perfil de lípidos y estudios. Las variables cualitativas se expresaron como frecuencias y porcentajes, y las cuantitativas como mediana. Se usaron pruebas estadísticas según el tipo de variable y regresiones logística y lineal para identificar factores asociados y cambios en el incremento (Δ) del índice de masa corporal estandarizado (zIMC, Z score del IMC). RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 47 pacientes, mediana de edad 6 años, el 61.7% de sexo masculino. Al diagnóstico, el 27.7% tenía obesidad y el 10.6% sobrepeso. El diámetro tumoral fue de 3 cm. El zIMC aumentó significativamente (0.46 vs. 1.70; p < 0.001), con incremento de obesidad al 68.1%. La dislipidemia aumentó del 12.7 al 32.6%, principalmente la hipertrigliceridemia (25.5%). Inicialmente, el 66% no tenía deficiencias hormonales, pero a los 12 meses posquirúrgico el 95.7% ya tenían alguna deficiencia. El sexo masculino y presentar obesidad al inicio del seguimiento fueron los factores relacionados a presentar obesidad a los 12 meses posquirúrgico. CONCLUSIONES: La obesidad y dislipidemia aumentaron significativamente tras la cirugía, acompañadas de un incremento en las disfunciones hormonales. BACKGROUND: Craniopharyngioma is characterized by clinical manifestations resulting from the compression of central nervous system structures, pituitary hormonal deficiencies, and obesity. The aim was to identify the frequency of obesity and dyslipidemia and their risk factors in pediatric patients with craniopharyngioma before and after surgical resection. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted from 2014 to 2024 in pediatric patients with craniopharyngioma, evaluated before surgery and 12 months postoperatively. Anthropometric data, lipid profiles, and laboratory studies were collected. The Wilcoxon test was used for quantitative variables and the McNemar test for qualitative variables. RESULTS: A total of 47 patients were included, with a median age of 6 years; 61.7% were male. At diagnosis, 27.7% had obesity and 10.6% were overweight. The median tumor diameter was 3 cm. The body mass index Z score increased significantly (0.46 vs. 1.70; p < 0.001), with obesity rising to 68.1%. Dyslipidemia increased from 12.7 to 32.6%, mainly due to hypertriglyceridemia (25.5%). Initially, 66% had no hormonal deficiencies, but by 12 months post-surgery, 95.7% had developed at least one. Male sex and the presence of obesity at the beginning of follow-up were associated with obesity at 12 months post-surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and dyslipidemia significantly increased after surgery, accompanied by a rise in hormonal dysfunctions.
