  • Title: Hyperprolactinemia: an unusual manifestation of suprasellar cystic lesions.
    Author: Woodruff WW, Heinz ER, Djang WT, Voorhees D.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1987; 8(1):113-6. PubMed ID: 3101452.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with suprasellar cysts and hyperprolactinemia are described. These lesions were diagnosed by CT metrizamide cisternography. Suprasellar cysts are a rare cause of pathologic hyperprolactinemia, which most commonly results from pituitary adenomas. Tissue diagnosis revealed suprasellar arachnoid cysts in the first patient and Rathke's cleft cyst in the second. The differential diagnosis of suprasellar cysts is presented, and distinguishing radiographic characteristics are discussed.
