Rathke’s cleft cysts are benign cystic lesions of the sellar and suprasellar region, forming out of remnant cells of the craniopharyngeal duct. Rarely diagnosed because they are often asymptomatic, sometimes they can be symptomatic by causing neuro-ophthalmological and / or endocrine disorders requiring surgical treatment. In this report we present a patient with a symptomatic rathke’s cleft cysts in an intra-suprasellar location, and review of the literature.Keywords: Rathke’s cleft cyst, Rathke’s pouch, Intrasellar, MRI, surgery
