Abstract

The Rathke's cleft cyst is generally thought to be derived from Rathke's pouch remanants. Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst was first described by Goldzieher in 1913. Recently, several cases have been reported by the gradual development of diagnostic methods. We present our experience of a rare case of ectopic suprasellar Ratheke's cleft cysts. The cysts were located in the interpeduncular cistern. We performed a successful operation and made immunohistochemical examinations.
