Ocular involvement in recurrent cyst of Rathke's cleft: Case report.
Cysts of Rathke's cleft are considered as benign lesions, a practically permanent cure of which can be achieved by aspiration of the fluid content and ample opening of the capsule. The case of a patient who suffered from a recurrence of the cyst, 13 years after a first operation carried out according to such surgical criteria, is reported in order to signal the actual possibility of recurrence of such lesions.
