Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts. Report of two cases

G K Steinberg et al. J Neurosurg. 1982 Feb.

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.
