Imaging of large Rathke's cleft cysts by CT and MRI: report of two cases.
Two patients with large Rathke's cleft cysts in the sella turcica and suprasellar region presented with visual impairment and hypopituitarism. The entirely different CT and MRI appearances of the two cysts were thought to depend principally on the protein content of the cyst fluid.
