| ABSTRACT |
|
Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts may be confined to the sella turcica or extended upward into suprasellar area. Like the more common cystic tumor of this region, the craniopharyngioma, they produce symptoms by compression of the surrounding structures. We report a rare case of a symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst. The importance of the intraoperative differentiation between the cyst and a craniopharyngioma is discussed. |
