  • Title: Atypical Rathke's cleft cyst associated with ossification.
    Author: Nakasu Y, Nakasu S, Nakajima M, Itoh R, Matsuda M.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1999 Aug; 20(7):1287-9. PubMed ID: 10472988.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst with ossification. CT scans showed curvilinear calcification on the wall of the cyst. MR images revealed a cystic sellar lesion with a nodular solid mass extending to the floor of the third ventricle. This case shows that calcification of the suprasellar cyst does not always suggest craniopharyngioma. Rathke's cysts should be histologically differentiated from craniopharyngiomas because their treatments are different.
