Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are rare epithelial tumors mainly located in the sellar/parasellar region. They may be classified into two major histological subtypes, which exhibit clinical and pathological differences: Adamantinomatous CP (ACP) and papillary CP (PCP). The aim of the present study was to compare the neuroendocrine dysfunction between ACP and PCP prior to and after surgical resection. According to their pathological classification, the patients were assigned to the ACP group or the PCP group. The neuroendocrine dysfunction in these two CP subtypes was evaluated using a scoring method prior to and after surgery. A total of 741 patients with CPs were included in the present study, of which 622 were ACP and 119 were PCP. The scores on the tumor mass effect, hypothalamic dysfunction and pituitary-target gland axis dysfunction, as well as the incidence of central diabetes insipidus in the PCP group were all significantly higher than those in the ACP group, regardless of whether the surgery had been performed or not (all P
