Abstract:
Rathke's Cleft Cyst is a common benign pituitary lesion.Its common clinical signs include headache,visual disturbance and pituitary dysfunction.Progressive cysts can be found in some cases,and diabetes insipidus in a few.MRI is the most valuable imageological examination for these lesions.Transsphenoidal surgery is suitable for a proportion of the patients while follow-up observation is proper for most of the patients.
