Salute cardiometabolica nei pazienti con craniofaringioma: oltre l’obesità ipotalamica
摘要
Craniopharyngiomas are associated with several cardiometabolic comorbidities, often severe and multifactorial in nature, contributing to increased cardiovascular mortality. Beyond hypothalamic obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, atherogenic dyslipidaemia, hypertension, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, as well as structural cardiac abnormalities, are frequently observed. This review examines these complications in terms of prevalence, pathogenesis, treatment response, and emerging therapeutic options, highlighting the need for a proactive and multidisciplinary follow-up.
