Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women's Medical College Dai-ni Hospital, Japan.

A 65-year-old man presented with bitemporal hemianopsia. He had undergone frontal craniotomy for a Rathke's cleft cyst associated with narrowed visual field 8 years earlier. His vision had returned to normal soon after surgery and he remained asymptomatic until the present complaint. Neurodiagnostic imaging revealed a recurrence of the intrasellar cyst extending into the suprasellar cistern. His vision improved rapidly after a second surgery. The histological findings were the same as those of the previous operation; the cyst wall was composed of a single layer of ciliated columnar epithelium resting on a collagenous connective tissue stroma.

D010900 Pituitary Diseases Disorders involving either the ADENOHYPOPHYSIS or the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. These diseases usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of PITUITARY HORMONES. Neoplastic pituitary masses can also cause compression of the OPTIC CHIASM and other adjacent structures.
