Abstract
Two unusual cases of symptomatic Rathke''s cleft cysts are described. The 1st patient was a 47 yr old man who presented with recurrent aseptic meningitis in addition to visual symptoms, panhypopituitarism and hydrocephalus. The 2nd patient was a 41 yr 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.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
