Abstract
The magnetic resonance signal intensity and cyst content were analyzed in 2 new and 17 previously reported cases of Rathke cleft cyst. Lesions displaying hypointensity on T1-weighted images (T1WI) and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) contained CSF-like fluid. Cases showing hyperintensity on T1WI and isointensity on T2WI frequently contained mucoid material. Hyperintensity on both T1WI and T2WI suggests the presence of blood. A small area of hypo- or isointensity indicates thickening of the cyst wall or collection of cellular debris.Entities:
