Summary
Marsupialization via endoscopic endonasal surgery offers a safe solution for recurrent Rathke's cleft cysts. This technique effectively resolves visual deficits and may reduce future cyst recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Endocrinology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Rathke's cleft cysts are benign sellar/suprasellar tumors.
- Enlargement can cause visual deficits, hypopituitarism, and headaches.
- Recurrence after surgery is a significant clinical challenge.
