Abstract
A case of temporary acquired central hypoventilation following craniopharyngioma surgery is presented. This is a complication which has not been previously described in suprasellar surgery. Potentially mechanisms of the respiratory disorder are discussed. The most likely etiology is felt to be respiratory drive depression stemming from hypothalamic injury. (J Pediatr Neurol 2004; 2(3): 167–170).
