Surgical management of Rathke's cleft cysts |
| Date |

| Description |
Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) are non-neoplastic cysts that arise from glandular rests of Rathke's cleft in the area of the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. Commonly found at autopsy on a microscopic scale, 80% of RCCs occur at the interface between the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary [1]. RCCs can cause visual or endocrine disorders when their mass compresses the visual apparatus, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus. |
