What is Known:

•Long-term prognosis in survivors of craniopharyngioma is impaired by obesity and cardiovascular disease.

•Associations between echocardiographic findings and clinical and anthropometric parameters after craniopharyngioma are not yet analyzed.

What is New:

•In patients with childhood-onset craniopharyngioma, cardiac remodeling was associated with hypothalamic obesity, duration of disease, male gender sex hormone replacement, and insulin resistance.

•Due to reduced echocardiographic sensitivity caused by obesity-related technical limitations, more sensitive cardiac diagnostics should be considered.
