Childhood craniopharyngioma is a rare type of brain tumor that primarily affects children and adolescents. It arises from embryonic tissue remnants located near the pituitary gland, which is responsible for controlling hormone production in the body.

The exact cause of childhood craniopharyngioma is unknown, but it is thought to arise from developmental abnormalities during early embryonic development. Genetic factors may also play a role in its development.
