Abstract
Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) typically present as intrasellar lesions, with exclusive sphenoid sinus involvement being exceptionally rare. We report the seventh documented case of an intrasphenoidal RCC in a 39-year-old male presenting with blurred vision and headaches. Complete resection was achieved via an endoscopic endonasal approach, and the patient remained symptom-free on follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first report to provide a series of endoscopic images illustrating the appearance and resection technique. We review the literature on this rare entity and summarize current investigative and management paradigms.
