Abstract
Tumors of the sellar and the suprasellar region are complex tumors and high-quality imaging is fundamental for diagnosis, characterization, and guidance of treatment planning. While the gold standard for diagnostics is contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it is a challenging procedure in morbidly obese patients. This report aims to present a case of a morbidly obese patient with a brain tumor and the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of its treatment.
