Question
Hello doctor,
I have now had a brain magnetic resonance imaging scan and everything is normal. But I found the question that there was one sentence that was "in the pituitary fossa deviated to the right, there is a lesion of size 7×9mm with clear boundaries. Strongly increased signal on T1W, decreased signal on T2W", concluded that "TD Rathke cyst contains protein-rich fluid in the pituitary. So the doctor asked me to ask for brain magnetic resonance imaging to detect Rathke cyst okay? Because I often suffer from migraines on the left side, dizzy and dizzy. Now I have more symptoms of blurred vision and neck pain. Please consult a doctor

Rathke cysts rarely cause symptoms such as headaches, vision disturbances or other neuroendocrine symptoms. small, asymptomatic, can be monitored periodically every year without any intervention.In a small number of cases, there may be symptoms as mentioned above, surgical intervention can be considered for treatment. remove damage.
The symptoms described by the patient may be due to causes other than Rathke's cyst. To find out if symptoms are caused by Rathke cysts, patients should go to the neurosurgery department to be examined by a doctor.
