Triad of hypopituitarism, granulomatous hypophysitis, and ruptured Rathke's cleft cyst

C H Albini et al. Neurosurgery. 1988 Jan.

Abstract

A 19-year-old girl with pituitary insufficiency and a large sella turcica was found to have granulomatous hypophysitis in association with a Rathke's cleft cyst. We think that the inflammatory process represents a foreign body reaction to leakage of cyst contents, with destruction of pituitary tissue.
