A 60-year-old man presented with obstructive hydrocephalus, bitemporal hemianopsia, and panhypopituitarism and was found to have a large suprasellar mixed cystic and calcified lesion, likely a craniopharyngioma. He was taken to the operating room for an expanded endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal resection of his tumour with complete macroscopic removal without any complications. He was discharged home after confirmation of no cerebrospinal fluid leak and no post-operative diabetes insipidus.
