Different Faces of Rathke’s Cleft Cyst

Rathke’s cleft cysts (RCC) are rare benign cystic lesions that might present with different imaging features, potentially posing a problem in the radiological diagnosis of cystic sellar lesions. The purpose of this pictorial review is to present an overview of the radioclinical features of RCC through four clinical cases with different radiologic findings confirmed by pathology, as well as reviewing the common differential diagnosis to be considered. The subjects are women, aged 11 to 73 who underwent recent transsphenoidal surgical resection with a postoperative follow-up period of a few months to three years.
