SYMPTOMATIC RATHKE CLEFT CYSTS - REPORT OF 2 CASES JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY STEINBERG, G. K., KOENIG, G. H., GOLDEN, J. B. 1982; 56 (2): 290–95

Abstract

Two unusual cases of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts are described. The first patient was a 47-year-old man who presented with recurrent aseptic meningitis in addition to visual symptoms, panhypopituitarism, and hydrocephalus. The second patient was a 41-year-old man presenting with increasing headache, and a large, nonenhancing sellar cyst showing suprasellar extension on computerized tomography. The similarities between Rathke's cleft cysts and craniopharyngiomas are discussed.
