Rathke cleft cyst. (a) Sagittal T1-weighted post-gadolinium image. (b) Coronal T1-weighted post-gadolinium image. A homogeneous, nonenhancing lesion is located between the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis
Fig. 22.14
Rathke cleft cyst. (a) Sagittal T1-weighted post-gadolinium image. (b) Coronal T1-weighted post-gadolinium image. There is a large, T1 hyperintense lesion eroding the sellar floor and extending to the suprasellar cistern, mildly elevating the optic chiasm. The mass extends posteriorly, abutting the pons
Fig. 22.15
Rathke cleft cyst. (a) Sagittal T1-weighted post-gadolinium image. (b) Coronal T1-weighted post-gadolinium image. There is a cystic lesion in the anterior sella, displacing the pituitary gland inferiorly. In addition, there is a hypoenhancing mass in the right aspect of the sella, likely to represent an incidental pituitary adenoma
