Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Characterization of Rathke’s Cleft Cysts (RCCs): Relevance to the Differential Diagnosis of Pituitary Adenomas and RCCs

Background: Rathke’s Cleft Cysts (RCCs) are rare epithelial cysts arising from remnants of the Rathke pouch in the pituitary gland. A subset of these lesions enlarge and produce a mass effect with consequent hypopituitarism, and may result in visual loss. Moreover, some RCCs with a high in...
