OBJECTIVE To compare the presentations, surgical outcomes, and pathology of purely suprasellar RCCs and sellar-based RCCs. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records, magnetic resonance images, laborator...
متن کاملRathke cleft cysts: correlation of enhanced MR and surgical findings.
PURPOSE To describe the gadolinium-enhanced MR findings of Rathke cleft cyst correlate them with the surgical findings, and define those preoperative findings that differentiate this lesion from other sellar and juxtasellar tumors.

We investigated the diagnostic potential of MR imaging features to differentiate cystic pituitary adenomas from Rathke cleft cysts and to develop a diagnosti...
