Abstract
An entirely suprasellar symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst in a 21-year-old woman is reported. An unusual feature of this cyst was the fact that the subepithelial tissues were composed of pituitary gland cells. High resolution magnetic resonance imaging is sensitive in the detection of subtle suprasellar abnormalities. We review the literature regarding the embryological pathogenesis of Rathke's cleft cyst, with special reference to the entirely suprasellar type.
