Rathke 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. METHODS We studied 18 patients who were diagnosed as having Rathke cleft cyst pathologically. These patients were imaged with T1- and T2-weighted coronal and sagit...
متن کاملSuprasellar Rathke cleft cysts: clinical presentation and treatment outcomes.
BACKGROUND Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs), benign remnants of the Rathke pouch typically arising in the sella, sometimes have suprasellar extension. Purely suprasellar RCCs are rarely reported. 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 کاملGiant Rathke cleft cyst.
The preoperative diagnosis for an unusual skull base lesion was chordoma. The combination of imaging, pathologic, and surgical findings suggests the diagnosis of Rathke cyst.
متن کاملDifferentiation between Cystic Pituitary Adenomas and Rathke Cleft Cysts: A Diagnostic Model Using MRI.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cystic pituitary adenomas may mimic Rathke cleft cysts when there is no solid enhancing component found on MR imaging, and preoperative differentiation may enable a more appropriate selection of treatment strategies. We investigated the diagnostic potential of MR imaging features to differentiate cystic pituitary adenomas from Rathke cleft cysts and to develop a diagnosti...
متن کاملAcute Obstructive Hydrocephalus Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Ventriculitis after Transsphenoidal Surgery: Case Report
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) frequently causes various infections, some of which are serious and require prompt medical detection and appropriate antibiotic selection. Although P. aeruginosa commonly exists within the nasal cavity, meningitis or ventriculitis following transsphenoidal surgery to relieve P. aeruginosa has been reported only occasionally. However, as the endoscopic tran...
