초록
A case of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst, which recurred five months after drainage of the cyst using transs-phenoidal approach, is presented. Symptomatic recurrence after surgery of Rathke's cleft cyst is very rare and nine cases have been reported in the literatures. The radiological and pathologic features and clinical course of this unusual case are described. Recent concepts about embryological pathogenesis and clinical behavior mimicking craniopharyngioma are discussed with the review of literature.
