    Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts can present unusually with neurological and endocrine issues. These rare cases highlight the importance of considering Rathke's cleft cysts in differential diagnoses for sellar region masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) are benign sellar region neoplasms that arise from remnants of the Rathke pouch.
    • While typically asymptomatic, symptomatic RCCs can present with a variety of neurological and endocrine deficits.

    Observation:

    • This report details two unusual cases of symptomatic RCCs in adult males.
    • Case 1: A 47-year-old man with recurrent aseptic meningitis, visual disturbances, panhypopituitarism, and hydrocephalus.
    • Case 2: A 41-year-old man with progressive headache and a large sellar cyst with suprasellar extension.

    Findings:

    • Symptomatic RCCs can mimic other sellar pathologies, including craniopharyngiomas.
    • The presented cases demonstrate a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations associated with RCCs.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of symptomatic RCCs is crucial for appropriate management and to prevent long-term sequelae.
    • These cases underscore the need for comprehensive evaluation of sellar region masses, considering both neoplastic and non-neoplastic etiologies.
