The Craniopharyngioma is a clinical-grade 3D printed brain model crafted for medical educators, students and neurosurgical teams. It delivers a detailed, realistic visualisation of this rare brain tumour, aiding in clear understanding of complex neuroanatomy and tumour pathology. This model helps facilitate deeper insight into tumour location, surgical challenges, and neuroanatomical relationships that textbooks cannot provide.

Enhance Neuroanatomy Education with a Realistic 3D Model

This 3D printed Craniopharyngioma model showcases a meticulously replicated sagittal section of the brain, centred on the hypothalamic region. Designed using actual patient pathology, the model displays an ovoid tumour measuring 2.5 x 1.5 cm which distorts the third ventricle and impacts surrounding critical structures. Medical professionals benefit from examining solid and microcystic tumour components, encapsulation details and the effects on the optic chiasm and ventricular system. With precise anatomical landmarks and distinguishing characteristics, this model prepares learners and professionals for both diagnosis and treatment planning.
