GH-Producing Pituitary Adenoma and Concomitant Rathke’s Cleft Cyst: A Case Report and Short Review

Figure 1

(a) Sagittal T1-weighted MRI of the head shows a suprasellar, high-intensity mass suspected to represent RCC. PA located below the RCC shows isointensity. (b) Sagittal T2-weighted MRI of the head shows isointense RCC and isointense PA. (c) Contrast-enhanced axial MRI shows nonenhancing RCC. In contrast, the normal pituitary gland shows strong enhancement. (d) Contrast-enhanced coronal MRI shows slight compression of the optic chiasma by RCC. And it shows an intrasellar PA of 9 mm in diameter located on the left of normal gland and suprasellar RCC of 12 mm in diameter that compressed stalk to the right side.
