ABSTRACT
Background:
Rathke's cleft cyst is a benign expansive lesion of the sella turcica. If related to clinical disorders, the patient needs surgical treatment.Objective:
To demonstrate the efficacy of radiosurgery in the treatment of relapse of Rathke's cleft cyst as an alternative to surgery. Methods andMaterial:
The stereotactic radiosurgical treatment was performed at the Gamma Knife Center of the Niguarda Hospital in a patient with Rathke's cleft cyst subjected to two subsequent neurosurgical resections with early regrowth of the cyst. The cyst underwent radiosurgery with a prescription dose of 12 Gy at 50% (minimum dose 9.8, mean 17.3 and maximum 24.4).Results:
Three years after stereotactic radiosurgical treatment the patient is asymptomatic and does not present disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis or further visual alterations. The control MRI shows a reduction of the cyst's volume.Conclusions:
Stereotactic radiosurgery resulted in a reduction of the cyst's volume and avoided further recourse to surgery.Palabras clave
