“…Our detailed literature search [Table 1] showed seven children with age below 6 years including our own one case. [456] The mean age of patients associated with craniopharyngioma presenting with DES was 4.15 years with the range of 2.4–6 years with male:female ratio of 1.3:1; the mean time interval between diagnosis and appearance of first symptom of DES was approximately 6.6 months. The most common presenting symptom of DES was loss of weight (85%).…”

Нами найдено описание только 4 случаев опухолевого пора-жения гипоталамуса с развитием ДК у взрослых -два из них были обусловлены КФ, два других -астроци-томой [23][24][25][26].

“…Возраст детей в дебюте заболевания колеблется от периода новорожденности до 4 лет с пиком в первые 2 года жизни [2][3][4][5][6]. У взрослых этот синдром встречается крайне редко: 4 случая опухолевого поражения гипоталамуса с развитием ДК: 2 обусловлены КФ, 2 другихастроцитомой [19][20][21][22]. В зарубежной литературе [1-6, 8-11, 14, 15, 18-23] это расстройство чаще описывается под названием «диэнцефальный синдром».…”
